against backs best either guys next playing position seven stretch teams themselves
With the teams we're playing and the stretch we have the next seven days, these guys need to get to a crossroad. Their backs are against the wall. They're either really going to try to do those things, or they're going to put themselves in a position where we can't play to the best of our ability.
couple depend heals next terms
I don't know where he's at. Everything went well in terms of the procedure. A lot will depend on how he heals the next couple of days.
inside next
I don't know about him for next game. It's inside his lip. He's probably going to have to get it stitched up.
afraid defense great guys help keys leave man next worried
They're a great help team. They really rotate to each other. One of the big keys in defense is a lot of times guys are afraid to leave their man and give help because they're worried about the next guy rotating to their man.
next prepared stay step together types
That's just what they want to do. I think they're having a lot of fun; I think they're different types of kids. They're not prepared to make the next step right now. They want to be here, they want to play, they want to be together was a group. They want to stay to play together as a team.
mistake next ready
You're time's here. Don't make the mistake of being so disappointed that you aren't getting to play that you don't come back ready for next year.
fortunate next night tomorrow tuesday win
This is not about me. If we are fortunate enough to win tomorrow night, it's over. Tuesday morning, it's gone, on to the next thing.
ahead blame comments game himself hold hopefully needed next situation time
Someone told me his comments after the game was he put blame on himself. That's wrong. If anything I hold myself more accountable than I would hold him. The only thing I told him in that situation is not get ahead of himself and say, I probably should have called time out. That's probably what we needed to do. But hopefully next time he'll be able to learn.
coming five guys next start
Actually it's going to start next year. It's a five for one. We've got you guys coming here five times and then we'll come back and play you guys there.
corey couple gone next percent saturday
I would say it's gone the other way with him. I'm not anticipating him back Saturday and I'm not anticipating Corey back at 100 percent right away. We're probably going to have to keep going through this for at least the next couple of games.
kids next personal talking
My personal opinion, after talking with these kids and their families, is they will be back next year.
adrian feeling next outside personal team year
My personal feeling is right now our team will be back next year outside of Adrian Moss.
eager guys next takes win
I think our guys are eager to get on to the next phase. We have some guys who know what it takes to win in this tournament.
amount basketball confidence couple feels good great level missed move next point rest shoot shots
He's probably never going to get to a point where he feels great the rest of the season. But I think his confidence level is high. It's good to see him take the amount of shots he took. He put up 11 3s on the road. It was great to see him confidently shoot the basketball and it was great to see him move to the next shot, even when he missed a couple in a row.
