care fans forward less looking
I think the fans are probably looking forward to it more. I could care less who we play.
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.
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.
came defensive game huge introduced job learner offensive park phenomenal quick speaks strides stuff team time volumes year
He made huge strides this year. His footwork came a long way. His sense of a team game came a long way. You can play in the park all day long and not think about defensive positioning or offensive spacing. All that stuff was introduced to Will for the first time this year and I thought he did a phenomenal job of grasping those concepts. He's quick learner and that really speaks volumes for him.
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.
against ask coach dominant game plan played player says
He is the most dominant player in the area. Ask any coach that played against us how much they had to game plan against him. Any coach that says he doesn't want him is a liar.
barely game good guess last played
We played pretty well in spurts. It was a game of spurts, and I guess our last spurt was just barely good enough to win.
defensive floor gets great job leading looks rebounds tonight tough transition
Will did a great job tonight of really leading our break. He got a lot of defensive rebounds and just started going down the floor. ... Just great looks down the floor and if Will gets us out and going in transition like that, we're tough to beat.
