played tonight
The way we played tonight was just outstanding. But we're not satisfied. Hopefully, we've got one more of these in us.
best seen
As of right now, with this on the line, this game, this magnitude, this was the best I've seen him play.
carrying defense definitely ourselves pride
Defense is carrying us. We pride ourselves on that. We definitely will try to frustrate you, and we want to be aggressive. It's what we try to do.
adversity built coach few fighting guys hold including mentality paying several stepped talked
Coach (Howland) talked about fighting through adversity. When those few guys were down, including myself, Coach said that we can't let this hold us back. And I think Coach has built a mentality of toughness. Several guys stepped up. I think it made us better as a team, and now it's paying off.
bumps cares coaches gave hitting ryan special
Ryan is a special guy. All he cares about is the team. He's done everything the coaches have asked. There were times when he was hitting the bumps in the road, but he never gave in.
asked bumps cares coach mentally ryan shows special tough
Ryan is a special guy. All he cares about is his team. He's just doing everything Coach has asked him to do, and he's getting it done for us. There's been some bumps in the road, but that shows how mentally tough he is.
starting
I am starting to feel comfortable again. I am banged up, but that's part of what it is right now.
But we didn't shot-fake, didn't take our time. They just sped us up all over the court.
care defense ourselves pride substance win
Basically, it's substance over style. All we care about it is the 'W.' We pride ourselves on defense. If defense is going to win games, that's what we're going to do.
basically care style substance
Basically it's substance over style. All we care about is the W.
coach higher maybe money respect salary taught tells whatever
Maybe at the professional level, it's the salary thing or money or whatever. They make more than the coaches, so maybe they feel they're higher than the coach. But right now, I've been taught to respect my coach and do whatever he tells me.
built came coach definitely goes personnel program quick
We definitely have the personnel to play defense. We're athletic. We have a quick team. I think it goes with coach Howland. He came in and built a program and made us play defense.
minutes time
It's a start. We'll see how it goes. Only time will tell (how many minutes I actually play).
ball limit maintain pressure shot team time total
It's going to be a total team effort. Mainly, we just need to have a lot of ball pressure and maintain that. Also, we have got to limit them to one shot each time down the floor. We can't let them get hot.
