bed figure guys help people quality team truest trying ways
We were a team tonight, in the truest sense of the word, because we have quality people in uniform. We don't have any ego-type players. These guys get out of bed every day trying to figure out ways to help this team.
constant controlled defense example game great happen minutes played seconds shooting tonight type zone
They played 39 minutes and 45 seconds of zone defense and controlled the tempo. We never got into the type of game we like to play. I think tonight was a great example of what can happen when we don't have a constant 3-point shooting threat.
dimension finished great minutes plays tonight
Joseph's minutes tonight were great minutes. He's just a new dimension when he comes into a game. And Pyle showed in the way he finished plays why he's an All-American.
adjustment ben challenged key
We challenged Ben to make his contributions on defense; he was to go at (No.) 52 (Burr). Ben was a big part of that. Making that adjustment was probably the key to the game.
kept playing touches tried
We tried to get more touches for Pyle in the post. He kept playing out on the perimeter in the first half.
appreciation athletic providing reward small work
We are providing Jared with some athletic scholarship monies as a small token of our appreciation and to reward him for all the work he has done.
