fourth quarter second third tough worst
We had a real tough second quarter, a really devastating second quarter, probably the worst we've had all year. That quarter did us in. If you look at the first, third and fourth (quarters), it's an even game.
bad ball care fourth seems takes time
Turnovers at a bad time ... but we didn't take care of the ball all night. That, and it seems like Will (Walker) always takes over in the fourth quarter.
against last man points post three
Their post man scored a lot tonight. I think he had three points against us last time.
defense free good guard missed point post running
We missed free throws, we couldn't rebound, we didn't play good defense in the post and we did not look good at times at the point guard position. It didn't look like we were running anything offensively.
eric great help intense last listening nice playing three
Eric has been great the last three games. He's really intense now. He's listening to the coaches. He's playing great basketball. If he's not scoring, he's rebounding. If he's not rebounding, he's playing great defense. He's doing a lot of really nice things that are going to help him down the road.
best chips free offense outside run screens
You have to give Stagg all the credit. They run the best offense in the conference. They use back screens and chips screens that free up their outside shooters.
cut
Again, we had some unforced turnovers. We have to cut down on the turnovers if we are going to be successful.
kids seeing team work
Now we are seeing what the kids can do, what the team can do and what we need to work on. We should be able to solidify a lot of things after this tournament.
against defense number post
Number 50 (McKnight) killed us. Our post defense against him wasn't good.
definitely hurt quickly shots
We definitely put up shots too quickly there at the end. That hurt us. We can't play that way.
There were no big surprises. Everything jiggled out the way we expected.
hard looking problem seem using work
We are looking hard for different combinations that work well together. We don't have a problem using any of our guys, but it does seem like there are combinations that work better.
shoot
We really did not shoot very well. We wanted to get a better look at some people.
came good help moving played
Moving D.J. to the 2-guard would help us out. He played well today, and Bryson Harden came in and did some good things at the point. Richardson can play different spots, so having him will help, too.
