ball bit extremely focused home past shoot won
If they had won (against Minnesota), there's a possibility they could look past you. But still, when they're at home they shoot the ball extremely well, which they did not do (against Minnesota). Certainly, they'll probably be a bit more focused because of that loss.
body language
I didn't like his body language out there.
difference few hands last played practicing responsibility taking
Mohamed is making a difference for us. He's played well the last few games. He's getting his hands on everything. He's practicing well and taking responsibility for things.
bad creeping good plays surprises three toward turned
Mohamed always surprises me. It used to be he'd make one good play for every bad one, then two good plays for every bad one, and now he's creeping toward three good plays. He's a risk-taker, and it turned out well for us tonight.
across basketball came confidence expect finally good guys maybe moore shot
Moore came through for us and finally got his confidence going. That was key. He hasn't shot it yet, so it's good to see him do that. He's a basketball player. Maybe with the young guys, I expect too much too soon. But I look all across the country, and guys are doing it as freshmen, so why can't he?
inside rely
When you don't have an inside presence, you have to rely on your (outside) shooting, and we just weren't able to do it.
against last shooting shot team worst
We're the worst three-point shooting team in the league. We shot 31 against them last time. We said we weren't going to do that again.
Then they got some penetration and they started to look for Dials.
aggressive bang guys open spaces wide
They were the aggressive team. They have some guys that like to bang in there and we have guys that like wide open spaces - the prairie guys.
help hurts lack success win
I think the lack of success hurts in a lot of ways. Somehow, you have to win and see if that can help (the program) ? I don't know if 'snowball' (is the right word) ? but incrementally get better.
replace
They had to replace so much. They're still overachieving in my mind.
ball bunch matter stretch time turned
They had a stretch where they turned the ball over a bunch of times, but we were doing the same thing on the other end, so it's only a matter of time before they get going, and they did that.
call looked responsibility saw taking transition
Normally, I call a timeout in that situation. I am taking responsibility for that. I saw a transition and Sterling going, and that is his strength. It looked like he was going to be able to get to the hole, but it just did not happen. I should have called a timeout.
against conference win wins
This is a big win for us. Because we haven't had any big wins in the conference against the top-tier teams.
