assert certain forward given guys happens head night playing rotation steady step themselves trying until
If certain guys step forward and assert themselves I think you'll see a more steady rotation but until that happens I'm going to keep trying to find who's playing well on a given night and who's got there head in the right place.
last thinking turned week
Last week kind of turned everybody's thinking on their heads.
chance gotten highs team
We've gotten some highs this season, and this was a low. We get a chance to play this team again.
ability context earn encouraged felt guy provide scoring stepped within
I think he's had to earn that. He's a guy that has some ability, that we felt like if he stepped up could provide us with some scoring punch. We encouraged him to do that, but within the context of our team.
clearly defensive good naturally pride quick stance taken walking
I think he's terrific. He's got such a good base. You look at some guys, when they get in a stance they look like they're as comfortable in a defensive stance as they are walking around. He's strong, and he's real quick laterally. It comes naturally to him. It's clearly something that's important to him, something he's taken a lot of pride in.
certainly context earn encouraged felt guy obviously provided stepped type within
I think he has had to earn that. We certainly felt like he was the guy we wanted to see do these type of things because he's a guy who has some ability. But he has stepped up and provided some scoring. I obviously encouraged him to do that, but within the context of our team.

I was inquiring as to a little more detail, and he informed me that he had been told that the president and the chancellor and key members of the board had approved. At that point, there was no confusion in my mind. I knew it was over.
game guys key people thomas
Thomas was going to have a game like this. People are going to key on him. Our other guys are just going to have to develop, they'll have to give him some help.
figure game games kids left life
With a game like today, you feel that life has just ended. But there's more games left to play. I've got to figure out how to make my kids get better.
almost attacking ball block few games huge last maybe mental obviously passing people saw shot zone
We shot the ball pretty well in the first few games last year, and then I think we almost got a mental block when we saw zone. Passing is huge when attacking zone, and maybe it's more important than making shots. Obviously when you make shots, people don't zone you.
lead time
We got the lead and let them back in it with Roby. I told them about him every time out.
bounce chance hopefully team
We get a chance to play this team again. Hopefully we can do more than just bounce back.
finish good job missed needed
We just didn't do a good job of converting those. I thought when we missed those, especially early, we got frustrated. I did feel like we needed to finish better.
effort redeeming stunned
The only redeeming thing about it is it's the first game. I'm stunned with our effort and togetherness.
