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.
days difficult fact figure trying
I'm still trying to figure it out. I like the fact that we have days in between to prepare, which was difficult in the Saturday-Monday because of our situation.

It's just a matter of worrying about yourselves, getting ready and trying to play hard.

We're just trying to win the next game.

He seems to get better every game. What we're trying to get out of Trent is more consistent play because we really rely on him.
afford against conference diego eight fifth fight four game home last learning minutes pass playing san seven team three trying
The last three or four timeouts we were still trying to fight to get back into the game against San Diego State. That was just the fifth of 16 conference games. Each team will play eight at home and eight on the road, and we can't afford to let any of those learning opportunities pass by. We were playing for more than the last seven or eight minutes of one game.
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.
beat conference confidence guys team themselves
We have now beat every team in the conference and it is all about confidence. Our guys have confidence in themselves and confidence in each other.
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.
