attacked chris game games good great guards indicator nine physical second teams
Chris had two outstanding games. He was our leader. The Bahamian teams attacked with very quick, physical guards and it was a good challenge. In the second game he had nine assists and no turnovers. That's a great indicator of things to come.
effort hard played plays shots
I think we played hard enough and with effort but we didn't make plays down the stretch. We have to make shots when we're doing the hard work.
certainly entire hard next playing
I think we are certainly playing hard enough, but we aren't doing it over the entire game. That's the next thing.
appreciate guys move president saying team thinks
Our team doesn't read the papers, and I don't think our guys look for those things. I appreciate president Kopp saying what he thinks and we'll move on from there.

Mark Dorris has a lot of quickness. If he continues to work hard he could find a niche for us.

Mark is really poised for very strong senior season. He was the best player in the gym up front both nights. They had a couple of 6-8 athletic guys on each team.
difficult earlier eight explosive feeling foul half hit hoping kept memphis minutes overcome run second seven sustain team trouble wall worked
I was hoping we could sustain what we had worked up in the first half, but foul trouble really kept us from going into the second half with the same feeling we had earlier in the (game). Memphis has an explosive team and I think they were able to run us and we hit the wall about six, seven or eight minutes into the second half. And that made it difficult for us to overcome that run.
contribute couple days help mark
With only a couple of days at practice, Mark was able to come in and contribute and help us out in the backcourt on this trip.
hit miles moved shot step stops
We had some stops and shot well in transition. Miles moved around and hit some shots. We need the shooters to step up.
couple played shooter
We had a couple of (miscues) but we didn't let it get us down. We fouled the three-point shooter (Willingham) but we didn't let it extinguish our fire. We played well in overtime.
ball reason whatever
We called the play, we got the ball to Mark. For whatever reason we didn't get it in the basket, and then we didn't back on defense.

Tyler is a mobile, skilled forward with great size who is still growing. He had a tremendous senior season as a 17-year old. I believe he can continue to grow with our program and help us continue to move forward.
