aggression eight game last plays thinking tough
I thought some of our aggression just went away. It's tough to explain. It wasn't like they were thinking the game was over at the half. In the last eight minutes, they made more plays than we did.
boost confidence good last nice player plays remind tried
We've tried to remind him that he's a very good player and he can make plays for us. That's a nice boost for his confidence going into our last game.
floor freshman hurt last remember run saw time
He hurt us really, when you look back at it, on second-shot opportunities and transition. I can't remember the last time I saw a freshman run the floor that hard.
facing filling forward last looking open schedule successful team
Again, we have a very challenging schedule facing us, and we're looking forward to filling that last open date. Our team is looking forward to making another successful run.
anybody blame change extremely figured group hang hard inside last locker practiced single slowly start week
This group has slowly figured out that we can't blame it on anybody else, that we can't hang our heads. If we want to change this, it's got to start inside our locker room. I would say over the last week or 10 days, we've really practiced extremely hard every single time.
earlier gifted last starting understand year
He's starting to understand some of the little things you have to do. He's a talented, gifted scorer who can rebound. Defensively, off the ball, he's much, much better than he was last year or even earlier this year.
against air continue defensive follow game held hold improvement last shot team three today
I continue to see improvement on the defensive end. Over the last three games, I think we're doing the right things. The last game against Air Force, a team that had shot 49 percent, we held them under 30, and to follow up today and hold another team under 30, I like the improvement there.
credit floor freshman kid last remember run saw time works
That kid can really run the floor, and you have to give him credit. He works very hard. I can't remember the last time I saw a freshman run the floor that hard.
brought creates last louis meeting myriad numerous pass response rule situations
At a meeting in St. Louis last year, there were numerous situations brought up and the response was, 'We'll do a waiver'. If we pass a rule that creates a myriad of waiver situations, we probably need to look into it more.
allow avoid couple effort games holding last level teams
The effort level the last couple of games was much better. We've started to get better at holding on to the ball, but we've got to avoid the rashes that we've had that allow other teams to go on a run.
instead stopped taking trouble
I thought we got into trouble when they started pressuring us and the five-count was on. Instead of taking them off the dribble, we got tentative. I just think we stopped attacking.
bad gotten maybe sure tired
I think we may have gotten a little tired mentally. I'm not sure if we wanted it bad enough or not. Maybe we did, but I do know Clemson wanted it more than we did today.
build five goes start took wiped
It goes without saying, we start all over, we start from scratch. It's unfortunate that what took five years to build was wiped away with one season.
blended couple finishing guess morrow open three took
We executed well in stretches, but . . . we took a couple possessions off. It was finishing off the execution. Three times we had (Anthony) Morrow open in the corner. They didn't see him. I guess he blended in with the crowd.
