anybody attention ball detail game hard looked offense pay possession ran slow stuff understanding
He's a ball mover. It's not that our offense has been so slow ... we ran the same stuff when he was in the game and looked pretty good. Moving, cutting, being sharp, understanding how hard you've got to play, tighten every possession up, pay attention to detail ... he does that as well as anybody we have, if not better.
ball good great job missed russell threw throw time tried
We put C.J. on the ball to take away the throw to the rim. That is what they tried to do the time before. Russell didn't do a great job on Neal on the play. It wasn't a good look, but he got off a look. We thought they would throw it to the basket. Fortunately for us, they threw outside, and he missed it so I'll say it was good defense.
ball evolving four game guard harder man screens stretching threat
With the game evolving into so many ball screens and stretching defenses, you're so much harder to guard when you have a four man (power forward) that can be a threat from the perimeter as well as inside.
ball covers guess multitude shooting
We probably didn't play as well as the score. Shooting covers up a multitude of sins, I guess is the expression. They got the ball where they wanted to get it the first 10 minutes, they just didn't convert.
ball billy free helped inside kept second throw ton zone
He still scored a ton from the free throw, but if we hadn't went to the zone he would have had 25 because Billy would have kept making them throw the ball inside to him. So the zone really helped us a lot in the second half.
ball course played stops stretch time
Down the stretch I just thought we executed and got stops defensively and of course rebounded the ball a lot better than we did the first time we played them.
attacked ball ended fault felt great hard head plenty taking time worked
I felt we should have attacked the basket. It worked out perfect. We got the ball to Keith. He had plenty of time and a head of steam. We ended up taking a hard shot. It would have been great had it went in. It was on line. I won't fault him on a last-second shot. He's made plenty of them.
offense opposed page run shot situation totally whatever whenever
We have to be totally on the same page that whatever the situation is, we can get a shot whenever we want to. Right now, we run offense to run offense, as opposed to run offense to score.
dad david freshman good knew overly thrilled
We knew the dad wasn't overly thrilled about everything, but we always thought David was fine. I thought he had a good freshman year.
chance close equal heavy less level quite talent top
We're not quite as top heavy as what we've been in years past. The talent level is so close to equal that there's more chance for upsets. There is less discrepancy one through 12.
enjoy guys playing seem team
This team is pretty loose. A lot of that is just youth. We have a lot of young guys out there, and they don't know any better. Even when we're not playing well, they still seem to enjoy playing with each other.
game good job
We got after them pretty good. We did a good job of controlling the game from the get-go. At 16-2, I thought we were in pretty good shape.
constant everybody gets guy happened large obviously season totally until
We want to play Mario, but obviously Stephen was the guy tonight. I can see this being a constant for a large part of the season until everybody gets totally comfortable. I don't think that's happened yet.
faster offensive
We're going to be faster as a team. I think we could be a much better offensive rebounding team,
