couple critical defense defensive error guard guy hits leave margin playing second
I think the defense is playing hard. But still, our margin for error is not that great. There are still defensive breakdowns. In the second half, we don't guard a couple of screens, leave a guy and he hits a 3 at a critical time.
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.
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.
second
I started him in the second half, that's how it works. If you produce, you play.
aggressive created forced react
They were the more aggressive team. They created opportunities for themselves. And we were forced to react to them all night.
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.
bit gradually rhythm struggling
You have to just gradually get your rhythm back when you're struggling a bit as he has been.
best chance coach difference group hardest kids plays stays trying whatever win
There's not a whole lot of difference between any of the teams. I think the group of kids that plays the hardest and stays into whatever their coach is trying to do has the best chance to win it.
active best both ends game nice played
This is the best game he's played in college. He was very efficient, very active on both ends of court. He did a real nice job.
category certainly falls foul games guy plays shame
This certainly falls into the category of games where we really gutted it out. We made way more plays than they did and it would have been a real shame if we had another guy foul out and lost.
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.
credit deserves designed game good minutes offensive plays teams worst
It's a play that's designed to get him a shot, but I can't take too much credit. I designed plays for 39 minutes in this game that made us look like one of the worst offensive teams in history, so ... he deserves the credit for making a really good play.
allow clearly guy horn liked running soon square tough turn
It was a tough make, but it was clearly after the horn went off. We did get it up there pretty quickly. I think by the guy running up on him, it didn't allow him to turn and square as soon as he would've liked to.
ball difficult handle took
They took us out of everything. They make it difficult for you to handle the ball on the perimeter.
