execute matter pieces points weapons
Offensively, when we execute, we have enough pieces and weapons that we can put points on the board. It's just a matter of if we'll execute and if we are going to play defense. If we do, we'll be fine.
ball good minutes supposed taking until
Offensively, we were doing what we were supposed to be doing. We were taking good shots; the ball was moving, we had some resemblance of execution, and it went that way until 13 minutes to go.
games pulled refused steadily stepped
They stepped up and made some shots, but this should've been one of those games where we should have steadily pulled away from them. We kind of refused to do that, though, which was kind of frustrating.
attack inside
We thought we could attack them inside on the glass.
guys huge playoff realize situation solid
We really don't need them to have a huge game, just a solid one. One of the things you need to do when you get into a playoff situation is let the guys realize that they don't have to play an extraordinary game. They just have to do their job.
defense defensive effort starters
I was pretty disappointed with our defensive effort right at the start. Our starters didn't play any defense at the beginning.
defense held playing
In the first half, I thought we were playing well defensively, but we just weren't making any shots. For once this season, it was our defense that held us up.
It was one of those things we wanted to do tonight, so we could get some reps with it.
bit confidence generate good guys obviously type win won
It's obviously a very good win because we won a slow-paced game. That was very good because the times when we've lost, we've been in that type of situation. It was a good thing for us to see and, hopefully, our guys can generate a little bit of confidence from that.
dramatic knew last playing practicing talent ton year
There is such a dramatic correlation between practicing well and playing well. . . . Talent has never been a question, either. We knew that last year when we recruited him. He has a ton of ability.
great half job lead quite second struggled until
They did a great job controlling tempo. They made us play in the half court, and we struggled for quite a while until we got a lead in the second half.
character kids obviously program talent
The character of the kids we have in the program is great. The talent obviously helps, but even when I'm not happy, like after tonight, our character is still there.
bush fact games happened proud season since success three
The kind of success we've had this season and still having three games to go hasn't happened since the (President) Bush Sr. years. The fact that we've been able to have this kind of success is nice. Those are things to be proud of.
attention fact figure paying practiced supposed
It comes back to the fact that we practiced well Thursday, Friday, and we practiced well today. We're doing what we're supposed to do, and that is paying attention to detail. And - go figure - you win.
