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.
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.

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.
You get this far, you never want to lose.

We watch a lot of film. I don't even know how much, but it's a lot. You go to bed dreaming about film.
front stay
We just could not stay in front of the ball.
consistency key sky word
With Luc, you get consistency. That's the key word for Luc, consistency. We know what we're going to get from him every night. He's only a freshman, so the sky is the limit.
kindness man multitude
To see one man go for a multitude of points, that's pretty ... that's kind of tough.
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.
