defensive hard help involved move moving offense playing sitting trying worked
We're trying to get him more involved in the offense and get him moving better. He's so much better on the move than he is just sitting down there in the post. We also worked hard on some defensive assignments and playing help defense.
adjusted attitude compete confidence couple few gets great help letting moves shots teammates trusting
Trent has a great attitude and comes to compete everyday. He has a couple moves that he really likes, and defenses aren't letting him make those moves. He's adjusted well to being able to move around and get shots off; now he's just got to make them. The most important thing is for him to keep his confidence up and for his teammates to keep trusting him. Once he gets a few baskets in transition, it'll really help his psyche.
anywhere ball defend either extra help justin left man open pass primarily pull punish shot weak williams
Most shot blockers will defend primarily on the ball or help from the weak side. Justin Williams can come from anywhere at any time. You have to be in the mind-set that you're either going to pull up and make a shot or find the man he left and punish him by making the extra pass to an open guy.
against ball blocked guy hard help judge last mexico might nervous players prepare shots throwing time wonder
Let me tell you, that guy is really, really good. It's hard to judge how he'll do with blocked shots because he didn't have any against New Mexico in the last game, but he had 19 against us in two games. You wonder if he'll be healthy. ...You try to prepare the players for how he might help out, but at the same time you don't want to get them so nervous that they're just throwing the ball up.
ball best game helped lost played season turning
When we lost to them down there, they played what may be the best game of the season for them. We kind of helped by turning the ball over and never really got into our offense.
competition good guys help last night personnel players plus realize step strength three weeks
What has been a strength the last two or three weeks with this team. We have personnel step in and help guys when they're not having a good a night as they wanted. We have 10 or 11 players help us. In practice, there is so much competition that guys realize that if they don't play the way they are capable, there is a guy there to do it and that is a plus for this team.
against coming crowd diego excited fans games help hopefully players san state terrific week win
This coming week is a big week for us. We're excited for our players to be where they're at. These games are very important. We had a terrific crowd against San Diego State so hopefully our fans will come out this week and help us win these games.
cause colorado court five four gotten half helping last personnel played robinson size stepped
Colorado State's personnel is a little different than when we played them last. (Freddy) Robinson is really helping them. He has stepped up the last four of five games. They have gotten a lot better in the half court defensively. Their size can cause us problems.
guys kept seen telling wild
I've seen wild things happen. I kept telling the guys that.
athletic ball both except player plays shoots
Except (Smith) probably shoots the ball even better. He's a very long, athletic player who can make plays both offensively and defensively.
against caused effort good shots size start stayed
Our effort was good tonight. We stayed focused, especially at the start of the two halves. You have to make perimeter shots against this team. Their size caused a lot of problems.
game guys hard hopefully last settled
Being the last game of the night, the guys will be really anxious. Hopefully for us, everyone will come out and play hard and with a lot of energy, and we'll get settled in early.
kindness player
That's a warrior, the kind of player you want on your team.
atmosphere great opportunity pit playing
I think this is a great opportunity for us. Playing at The Pit can be a lot of fun. It's a great atmosphere and a great place to play basketball.
