bit canada european good guys people prep schools toronto
Sometimes you get a lot of European guys who go over to Canada and play in prep schools there. Toronto has been good for long time, and people are discovering it little bit more. Montreal's not as good, but there are some very good teams.
ball clearly court home pushing teams transition whatever
Teams are better in transition at home, at least that's what I've noticed. At least we are. We are clearly better at home pushing the ball up and down the court for whatever reason.
both good playing quickness shooting teams time
The speed, shooting and quickness of both teams is pretty daunting. But I think we're playing decently right now so it's as good a time as any to go on the road.
If we don't get out-rebounded by 10 or more, then I think we can be OK.
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.
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?
fragile
But we will be a little more fragile this time.
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.
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.
Then they got some penetration and they started to look for Dials.
kept neither open second stopped stopping team
In the first half, neither team was stopped offensively. In the second half, they started stopping us and they kept making shots, and too many of them were open looks.
