You have to make perimeter shots against this team because of their size, it's just hard to get to the basket. You can't stop going to the basket. They are a team playing with a lot of confidence right now and. our guys came out really focused.
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.
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.
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.
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.
best build
It's something we can build on, even if it wasn't our best game.
bad chance educated playing
I'm not really educated on that. You just feel bad that we aren't playing anymore. The more you win, the better chance you have. But in this situation, we don't get to play tomorrow.

I'm optimistic about this year's team. I think we have an opportunity to be good, but there's a lot of things we have to take care of.

It looked pretty bleak there for a minute.
both confidence experience freshman good heath league pack score scoring since
Slaughter and Heath pack a pretty good 1-2 punch. They've both got experience in this league and have been scoring for a long time. They've both started since their freshman year, and have the confidence to score at this level.
ball college confidence good obviously shoot team teams
They are obviously a really good team and especially in The Pit. They play with more confidence at home. They shoot the ball better at home. And probably like most teams in college basketball, they have a lot of confidence from their crowd.
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.
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.
