beat focus game played team together top
You have to really play at the top of your game to beat (Spaulding). You can tell this team has played together for a long time. You can't focus on just one person.
pass thinking throw worse
You feel like you're getting worse as a player. You can't throw a spiral, and you can't throw a 5-yard pass that you could throw as a 9-year-old, because you're thinking about too many things.
bear expect needed senior
You expect that out of your senior pitchers. They know when they have to bear down and get outs. He got outs when he needed to.
beat history legacy yankees
You do want to beat them. They're just like the Yankees with their legacy and the history of their team.
carry hopefully playing success treat underdog work
We've been playing pretty well and think that success will hopefully carry over to the tournament. They're always going to treat us as an underdog being a mid-major team, so hopefully that can work out in our favor.
bear horizon past push
We're in a bear market. You're going to see these little rallies on short-covering, but there's nothing (else) on the horizon to push us past that right now.
blocking chances create creating explain finishing jumping score seem shots
We seem to be creating a lot of odd-man rushes. We're killing a penalty, but we seem to be jumping into the play and doing things like blocking shots to create a 2-on-1. We seem to be able to score and we're finishing those chances and I can't really explain why.
energy guys hunted opposition putting understand
We're the hunted this year. Sometimes our guys don't understand how much energy the opposition is putting into games.
experience hunted teams
We're the hunted and that's a new experience for some of our guys. We've got to get better. Teams are going to be gunning for us.
asking normal offense starting vision work
We've been like that all season. They're starting to have the vision I've been asking them to have for a while. Our settled, normal offense stuff, we need to work on that.
click closer finally tonight
We've been close, and we've been getting closer and finally things started to click tonight. Tonight things started rolling, and we were just having fun.
across advantage box click found good team tonight took weakness year
We've been a pretty good rebounding team all year long, but tonight for some reason, we just didn't click and we didn't rotate across and get our box outs like we should have. Give them credit. They found a weakness and took advantage of it.
confidence open people presence tough ucla
We need to get some swagger, some confidence, back. We need to be getting into people defensively and having more of a presence on the court. UCLA is a tough one to open with, but I like where we're at right now.
build expectation finished game last start year
We need to start Game 1 where we finished off Game 70 and not let anything go backward. More than anything, it's my expectation we would do everything we did last year that was possible. But we have to build on that. We have to get better.
