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.
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.
beat glad good needed team
I'm glad we beat a really good team tonight. We really needed this.
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.
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.
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.
continue dog fourth guy kid might recruit schools ten third top tough true
At Northwestern I have to continue to do it. If there's a kid in the Midwest, for instance, and other schools in the Big Ten want him, I might be the third or fourth guy on the list. I'm not getting kids, so I have to go elsewhere. That's true in the other conferences. If you're not the top dog then it's tough to recruit the same area, so I have to go elsewhere.
couple game simplified start
At the start of the game we simplified (the offense), just went with a couple things. But when they weren't working, we probably went to some pipe-dream things.
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.
If we don't get out-rebounded by 10 or more, then I think we can be OK.
fragile
But we will be a little more fragile this time.
