defensive efficiency finally good offense offensive played playing struggled
We finally started playing some defense. We got it down to two points, but then our offensive efficiency lacked. We couldn't get two things going at once. We played good defense, but we couldn't get it going on offense. If our offense clicked, we struggled on the defensive end.
anybody coach effort great guard instead playing practice start telling
We've been telling coach we want to start playing more man-to-man. He told us that if we give great effort in practice that he'd try it. Now we can guard anybody instead of going 2-3 (zone) all game.
girls good playing positives quit second spell teaching
We just quit playing over a spell in the second half. I told the girls, 'Don't ever do that to me again.' But it's a good teaching tool. There are a lot of positives that we can get out of this.
came good kinda playing ran strong team
They were hot. We came out kinda flat. We just ran into a good team when we weren't playing as strong as we had been.
game past playing year
Playing this year is the only game that matters. If the past counted, we'd play only one game and you'd never play it again.
against bad close expected good lead lose notorious playing predicted second win
We are notorious for playing bad in the second with a big lead against a good team. But we didn't lose our composure. No one predicted we'd win by 15. We expected it to be a close game.
finally monkey pick ready
We finally got the monkey off our backs. We're ready to pick it up now.
feels finally monkey
We finally got the monkey off our back. It feels good.
games hopefully run toward
There are some winnable games from here on out. Hopefully we can make something out of nothing and make a run toward the NCAA.
city home living smiling somebody
Living in a city where I do - somebody shoves you all the time, so I'm kind of used to it. After a while, I'm smiling and it's like wow, I'm back at home again.
five matter minutes red win year
We should win the game. The first five or 10 minutes is key. From there it's just outplaying that team. Every year, (the Red Raiders) are pretty solid, no matter if they are having a down year or not.
excited great group guys hard work
We're excited to get going. We've got a great group of guys, and some new guys who can play. We just need to find out who we are, work hard and keep getting better.
jump run settle shots stop
We're not going to settle for jump shots because they say they are going to stop it. They still have to stop it. We're going to run our offense.
jack shoot
If we are hot, we'll keep shooting, but I don't think we'll shoot that many again. You can always come down and jack up a three. We're going to try to get away from that.
