athletic create defensive effort good great maybe realize seen
I thought they were great defensively, maybe as good a defensive effort as I've seen this year. They really realize their athletic ability. They can create a lot of problems.
basketball coming games good lost team
(Kelvin) lost some games when he didn't have his whole team there. Coming in (to the season) they were like us, a team that was up there. And they're a good basketball team.
basketball doubted good guys kept tough tremendous
Our guys showed a tremendous will to win. We had some tough times, but we kept believing, and our guys never doubted they were a good basketball team.
five free game good great job might night shooting throw worst
This might be the worst game he's had shooting 3s, but he did a great job at the free throw line. With those five assists, it was a real good night for him.
basketball good
I still think we should be a good basketball team.
basketball five good people ranked start three top
Look at Oklahoma. They start three seniors. They're a good basketball team. If people thought they were just going to go away, they (were wrong). You don't get ranked in the top five in the preseason if you don't have a good basketball team.
ball good job minutes played rotation smarter
I thought the first 20 minutes we were outstanding defensively. I thought we played smarter defensively, and I thought we did a good job of corralling to the ball and rotation was pretty good for the most part.
defend environment good great hard memphis team
The environment was great and to come in here and find a way to get it done is huge. I feel good for our guys. Memphis is a very hard team to defend because of the way they play.
game glimpse good team terrific
I told the team after the game they had a glimpse of how good we can be. We were terrific ... but we can still get better.
ball good push quickly switch top transition
I told them that we were going to switch everything. And if they score, we've got to get the ball back out in transition as quickly as they can and push it right on top of them. We got as good a look as we could probably get.
basketball coming five good people ranked six start team three top
Coming in, they were like us, a team that's up there. They start three seniors, and they are a good basketball team. If people thought they were just going to go away, you don't get ranked in the top five or six in the preseason if you don't have a good team.
draft explore good players rule
This is a good rule put in place for players to explore their draft position.
aggressive couple decisions fact free good guys happy job last needed pushed run seven situation stayed staying throws
I thought our guys did a good job of staying aggressive the last couple of minutes. We probably didn't make as many good decisions as we needed to be making in that situation but, overall, when they made their run and got back in it, we stayed with it. We pushed it back out there and made some free throws at the end. I'm happy with the fact that we had only seven turnovers and the job we did on the boards.
attempting daniel draft explore good players problem rule status
I have no problem with Daniel attempting to find out what his status may be in the upcoming draft. This is a good rule put in place for players to explore their draft status.
