defense floor good knock looked looks open opposite ran rhythm shots took
I thought we got a lot of good looks on offense. We ran the floor well. We looked opposite and that got the defense moving. We took a lot of open shots in rhythm and more times than not, you're going to knock them down.
best toward
I thought we executed best toward the end. We executed well down the stretch.
ball came guarded looked played push successful
I thought we came out and played hard; we guarded well and got the ball down the floor. We really looked to push the ball a lot more, and I thought we were successful in doing that.
ball came court fairly guarded help night ran
I thought we came out and did the little fundamental things that help you win. We jumped the ball on defense, rebounded, guarded the ball pretty well most of the night and ran the court fairly well.
bit figuring guys hopefully last man month movement offense ready season
I thought our man offense (Tuesday) was a little bit better than it had been. We still need a little more movement -- guys are still figuring out when to come off screens, when to set screens. But, that's what we've got this last month of the season to get ready for. Come March, hopefully we'll be ready for that.
carried doubt game hit jeff needed played rebounds shots won
Jeff won the game for us tonight, I don't think there's any doubt about that. Jeff played great. He carried us. He hit the big shots when we needed it. He got the big rebounds when we needed them.
buy help jeff leader necessary sacrifices top willing
Jeff was willing to make the sacrifices necessary to help the team. When your leader at the top is like that, everyone else has to buy in.
came early jeff
Jeff really came out early and got us going.
entire few game good guys instead learn minutes win
Our guys have to learn how to play well for an entire game instead of a few minutes here and a few minutes there. Luckily, we were able to play good enough just long enough to win today.
breaks came good guys heart jackson jump love maybe roaring seat seemed stopped teams
Our guys are tough. They got a lot of heart. I love the way we play. We didn't give up. We came roaring back and I thought we were maybe going to jump in the driver's seat for a minute. Jackson stopped that. Tonight, it just seemed like the breaks went their way, but good teams make their breaks and they made some tonight. They put it on us.
affected games hurt played turned year
He's a stud. One of the first games of the year he hurt his thumb, but played through it. That affected his shot, but he's turned it up.
edge
Our rebounding was a big edge in this game.
elevates great high hitting jump rises shots somebody tough
He was really hitting some tough shots early. He's such a great jump shooter. He really elevates off the floor. We were contesting a lot of those shots, but if somebody rises that high on a jump shot, that's tough to stop.
figures grind hard high intensity
He can really be a presence. When Brandon figures out how to grind it out and how to play hard with high intensity all the time, he's really going to be a handful.
