basketball problems
We have a lot of problems as a basketball team.
bunch couple fixing good laboratory problems short team time
It's not about us going into a laboratory fixing a bunch of different problems as much as it is rekindling what made us good a short time ago. ... We've been able to do that. It's only been a couple days, but our team has done a very good job.
attention boot commitment determine figure gets loose needs start till trying
It gets everybody's attention when you get up at 5 a.m.. We'll keep doing that till we get a commitment to get on the floor, to get loose balls, to do the things we need to. ... We have to figure out where we stand. I'm not trying to have a boot camp. For us at Xavier right now, we have to determine who needs to start and who needs to play minutes.
against few good guy knock percentage recently
Recently against us, if you're that guy that can't make a 3, you usually knock a few down. It was good to see that percentage come our way.
although couple guys open ourselves position second shots wide
I thought in the second half, we put ourselves in the position to win, but a couple guys couldn't make a shot. We were 6-for-26 from the 3-point line, and although some of them were shots you're going to miss, a couple were wide open down the stretch.
ball hard nine pass practices shore shown team terrific word
I would use the word alarming. We're a team that practices very well and hard, and we pass the ball well, and we've shown we can rebound. Through nine games, we all have to take a hard look at what we need to do to shore that up. If we could shore that up, we'd have a terrific team.
attention ball beat beating commitment couple eight guys hard hour loose nine separate sheer team time turn until ways
It always get everybody's attention when you get up at 5:15 and have to get taped and then go (practice) for an hour and a half. We'll keep doing that until we get a commitment to get after loose balls. We're a team that's going to have to beat you with sheer numbers. We need eight or nine guys getting after it. When we have a couple guys going their own separate ways and we turn the ball over and not get after rebounds, we'll have a hard time beating anybody.
looking team
Looking at his development, he could really make our team much different down the stretch.
best choice five four games identity knew lose team together
We knew we had no choice but to come together or it's going to get worse. When you lose four out of five games and you go through what we went through, the best way to get an identity back is to make things hard. I thought our team really responded.
football looking playing team
We need to find out how we can become the team we were for so long. Looking at it from this perspective, it's not like we're going in at 6 a.m. and playing football or doing anything crazy.
confidence hope keeps lose regain second seemed shot
You lose your confidence when the shot doesn't go in. He seemed to really regain it in the second half, and I hope he keeps it all season. Sometimes you just need one to go in to make that hoop bigger.
collective goes good hard players several step
We did some good things today, and we had several players really step up, which is what we need now. It's not one player replacing a player that goes down. It's a collective group. Offensively, you can see that we can be hard to guard.
area best convert four gets guy help keeping offensive provide sure three
We're going to try our best to provide as much help to the guy guarding him on that area of the floor. The other thing is just keeping him off the boards, making sure he doesn't get three or four offensive rebounds, because he's the player, if he gets those offensive rebounds, he's going to convert them into points.
bit room
We're going to have to do that (rebounding) more collectively. We were like that anyway, but we had a little bit more room for error.
