body everybody feels gym harder last practices respect single somebody talked whose worse
We talked about this last night: How can you not respect somebody whose body feels worse than everybody else's in the gym every single day, and he practices harder than everybody else every single day?
changed game guys maybe plays
Some guys play a little better when they are ill. Maybe the game slowed down for him a little bit. He made some plays that sparked us and really changed the game.
advantage best biggest guard involved opinion personal plays point position
My personal opinion is that I don't want our point guard to be our biggest scorer. But if our point guard is our best scorer, we have to find a way to take advantage of that, and he is going to be involved in a very competitive position to see who plays the most minutes.
answers couple late mario shot
Mario had the big answers for us tonight. He had a couple of big three-pointers late in the shot clock.
good guards played russell
Mario, Brandon and Russell all played very, very well. When they play well, they're about as good as any guards around, in my opinion.
learn operate radar soon worked
That's done. We don't need to be under the radar anymore; we need to be out there. It worked out really well. We didn't get too much too soon and it made us work for everything. Now you have to learn how to operate with all the attention.
certainly controlled guards played
Their guards were terrific. They played well and certainly controlled the game.
group love
I love our team. I love working with the guys. They just want to get out there. This group has been like a sponge.
leagues lit means parity people
I look around the county, and I see a lit of leagues like ours. With parity a lot of people think that means mediocrity.
crushed education kid start
I know it hurts. It crushed him. But if the kid isn't tough, how can a walk-on kid from Asheville, N.C., come in here, get an education and start for Kansas?
guys pull thinking time
They'll pull for the other guys to do well, but at the same time, they are thinking 'This is my time too.' So I think it is going to make for some pretty competitive practices.
figure game great hopefully seasons start win
It was huge, because we didn't play well at all. That's what makes great seasons ? when you figure out how to win a game when you don't play real well. Hopefully that's a start for us.
chapter chose couple dealing enjoyed focus hopefully needs next process
The thing is, Micah Downs, hopefully after today, will not warrant any of our thought process over the next couple months. Our focus needs to be on this team. Obviously, he chose not to be part of it. This is not something that we have enjoyed dealing with at all, and this chapter is closed.
difference teams
If you're not a one or two seed, the difference between the teams is minimal.
