against defense good percent shoots team time
Our defense was good. Any time a team shoots 32 percent against you, you feel pretty good about it.
capable shoot
You know they're probably going to shoot 25 threes, and they're capable of making more than half.
night shooting tough
We had a tough night shooting the ball.
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.
good night shooting
I look at it, and we didn't have a good night shooting the ball, but we still scored 82 points. There really were some good things.
areas best games helped scoring shooting tough
That may have been one of Brad's best games because he helped out in areas other than scoring on a tough shooting night.
against almost call fun gun playing shoot spread team
I don't know if I would call it a wishbone more than I would call it that Fun 'n' Gun because they spread you out. They're going to shoot 25 threes. They make more threes than any team in the country. It's almost like playing against a no-huddle offense.
ball daniel game nights percent shoot shot
Daniel will be fine. There's going to be nights you're not going to shoot the ball well. We still shot 50 percent for the game and scored 90 points.
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.
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.
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.
missed night obviously situation taller
I think it was a situation on this night that (Tech) missed a lot of shots. We were obviously taller and longer, so we could get those rebounds.
clean saw talk
I saw it. It was a clean block. There's no need to talk any more about it.
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.
