defense focus guys helping helps hitting inside men opens people shooting stepping stretch team
People always try to focus on the inside part of our game. When you have guys like Ronald stepping up and hitting perimeter shots, it opens up everything else because they have to stretch their defense and play the perimeter. It widens the lane. It helps the big men out tremendously. The way he's been shooting the ball, it's been helping our team dramatically.
break chance forward gives looking spring teams year
It gives us a chance to play teams from around the country. I'm really looking forward to it. It's the first year we've done it, and usually during Spring Break we flatten off because we won't play.
believe gave goes mind team tough
It goes to show how tough this team is and how much we believe in each other. No one gave up. No one had the thought in their mind that we weren't going to win.
beyond feet great last marvel sit
I think that last 3-pointer he made was from 15 feet from beyond the arc. He's such a great player. When he's doing something like that, you just have to sit back and marvel at it.
defensive people presenting seems setting step strategies teams
Other teams are keying in on him, setting whole defensive strategies around him. That's presenting opportunities for other people to step up. It's amazing. It seems like every game, it's someone different.
college guy stuck
He let me know we're stuck with him. It's great, because he's a guy who's been here for everyone's college career, and we've had a lot of success.
emotional highs next night
There are so many emotional highs and lows. You play really well one night, and the next night, you don't play well at all.
coach drill game good great job knows matter people practice reasons team
He does a great job of getting people to play their best. One of the reasons we are such a good team is that every day in practice is like a game to us. Everything we do is competitive, and everything we do we want to win, no matter what the drill is. He knows you have to coach everyone differently.
easy four offense taking three
My offense was bad, and I had to keep taking three or four opportunities to get an easy basket.

I just want everyone to know I'm going to make the right decision. Whether it's for me to stay or go, I'm going to make the right decision.
flow game struggled
I never really got into the flow of the game today. I struggled offensively and defensively.
bad continue felt few finish flow looks obviously struggled work
I never really got into the flow of the game. I struggled offensively, defensively. A few times I made some bad decisions. I felt I got the looks I wanted to get. I just didn't finish a few times. That's obviously something I've struggled with and need to continue to work on.
boys few great guys job knew offensive open sending split teammates three
They've got some big boys that are very good. They were sending two or three guys at me, which was getting frustrating, so I knew I had to get offensive rebounds. The few times I was open for a split second, my teammates did a great job of getting me the ball.
deadline june outside stay sure whether
I want to make sure that when the June 18 deadline comes, it will be my decision, not someone else's or any outside reason, whether I stay or go.
