defense easy good man post stuff until
I thought our post defense was good tonight. We didn't give them a whole lot of easy stuff until late. Overall, I thought it was a good man defense.
defense energy ready run
We have to be ready on defense again. They like to run in transition, and they'll play with a lot more energy at home.
defense offense score
Our defense worked. They didn't score much, either. We just couldn't get our offense going.
coming defense early guys hard helping junior recovers tracking
Early in the season, there was a lot of separation, because he didn't think defense coming out of junior college. Now he's right with the guy, tracking hard and getting out in him. And our big guys are helping him, and he recovers better than he did.
defense interior liked
I liked his defense. We haven't had interior defense like that in a while.
couple defense fault gotten mark minutes
That's the coach's fault because I should have gotten him out of there probably around the 10-minute mark for a couple minutes rest. He was tired, in his defense there.
beat defense good score solid
They can score a lot of points, they want that up-tempo game. We can't get into a between-the free-throw-line kind of game, because that's where they beat you out there in the middle. We've got to play good solid defense and try to keep their penetration down.
match tough
I think we match up better with Boise. That's why this was a tough one to lose.
confidence game games gives hang offense ran run shoot stretch tried win worked
It gives you confidence that you can hang in games and come back and win them. Before, we tried to play a different game down the stretch on the road, run and shoot them out. (Last week) we ran our offense and worked it and did a much better job.
four looks might slip split start three win
I said at the start of the season, win them all at home, split on the road, and you're going to be there. And it looks like four (losses) could do it, three (losses) might slip in.
beginning four looking losses realistic three win year
I said at the beginning of the year that you could have three or four losses and still win the league. That's looking more realistic now.
caught exactly likes matt shot strong took
We got exactly what we wanted. Julian likes that shot that he took and Matt caught it and was a little strong on it.
bit fast floor lost push spots transition trying work
We've lost our transition game, we've got to get that back and the fast break. We're working on trying to get out and get down the floor a little bit better and work on our break. We have to find our spots and push it.
calling guys power scoring
Our power guys inside, I'm calling them floaters now because there's no power. We're not scoring in the paint.
