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.
coaching energy entire locker obviously reason room second seem start type
For this entire streak, for some reason or another, we just can't some out of the locker room with the type of energy we need. As I told the guys, it's obviously something we're doing as a coaching staff. We just can't seem to get things going at the start of the second half.
definitely earn guys looking role starting three
He's going to have to earn (the starting job). I don't think you give a role that important, you don't just give it away to somebody. He's definitely one of the two guys, three guys we're looking at.
capable earn goes good guard handle hard point role starting tendency
He's going to have to earn it. I don't think, for a role that important, you just give it to somebody. I feel like I have a good handle on what he's capable of from a basketball-playing standpoint. But there's a lot more that goes into the starting point guard role for our team. I have a tendency to be hard on those guys.
athletics floor great ground plays remind starting steals three
He's a great athlete, and I always remind him that he can make plays off the ball. I don't think he understands how much ground he covers. I think you're starting to see that. He had three steals today. He's starting to see the floor better.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
apart equation panic
Panic can't be apart of our equation right now. We just have to win.
guys memphis recruiting seen shooting teaching time west whoever
Over the time I've been recruiting in Memphis and West Tennessee, I've seen that the shooting is very good. Whoever is teaching these guys how to shoot is doing something right.
care consistent hard taken together
We haven't taken care of the ball. It's been so hard for us to put together consistent stretches in games.
