beat both easily lost mean twice
Just because we beat them twice doesn't mean anything. We could've easily lost both games.
aggressive beat defensive pressure themselves
They don't beat themselves and they're very aggressive in the defensive end. They put a lot of pressure on you.
agree beat best both chance common conference crop difficult easily except games lost number ourselves respect team three tournament train treat understand win
The common train of thought is that it's very difficult to beat a team three times in one year. I would agree with that, except in the conference tournament there's a number of these things that crop up. I think the way we go into it to give ourselves the best chance to win is to understand that we easily could have lost both games to them and that because of that, we need to treat them with the respect that they deserve.
bit gradually rhythm struggling
You have to just gradually get your rhythm back when you're struggling a bit as he has been.
defensive offensive season simply
We need to come out aggressive, not only on the defensive end but on the offensive end as well. If we don't, our season will simply come to an end.
entire guys lead overall played
We didn't let their other guys get going at all. Overall I thought that we had a comfortable lead the entire game, and that's because of the way our guys played on defense.
college consistency disjointed easy
We've been disjointed all year. We've had injuries, suspensions, and it's not an easy thing in college basketball, or anywhere, to not have consistency - and we really haven't had that.
boards control dominated game held hope inside team
We're an inside-oriented team right now, so I think if we don't control the inside the way that I hope we would, then I think were going to have trouble. I think we've at least held our own with them on the boards in the first two games. The first game we actually dominated them on the boards.
open passed shoot shots struggling sure
I think right now he's struggling with his confidence. I think he passed up open shots so he's really not sure right now when to shoot and when not to shoot.
difficult gonna job last match
I think he's someone that was a difficult match up for us the last time. I think we're gonna have to do a better job on him if we want to win.
anybody conviction determined guy guys playing purpose senior
I think he is playing with as much purpose and conviction as any guy I've had in their senior year. There's been guys that have been more talented, but I don't know if I've had anybody as determined to try to play as well as he's been.
biggest deserves freshman guy improvement senior year
I think Gardner has made the biggest freshman to senior year improvement of any guy we've had. I think he deserves a lot of credit.
continuing deserve environment hard hostile mean road trying
I think for these kids, continuing to try to play hard - I mean they're on the road in a hostile environment still trying to win, they really deserve a lot of credit.
game played playing schedule tough
I think it will be significantly different. I think they're playing way better. They've played a very tough schedule and improved. I think it's going to be a much harder-fought game this time.
