guys realize slip trying
The thing I'm trying to get these guys to realize is that we've had some opportunities that we really let slip by.
beginning concern highlight last nice practice road seven situation trying win
My big concern now is, we can't let a situation where we had a nice win on the road be the highlight of the season. Beginning today, we need to refocus on what we're all about and that's the last seven games, and trying to get better in practice every day.

Last year, they knew exactly what they were doing. This year, this guy's starting, that guy's starting, probably because that's just the way it is. They're trying to find the right mixture.

The next 6-7 days are about us trying to show improvement.

It's about playing better. We are just trying to get them to play better.
athletic ball basketball quick run scores shots tough trying
We were trying to run at him and make him get the ball to someone else to make some shots but he's very good. He scores the basketball when he has the ball in his hands, and he's very quick and he's very athletic and it's tough to keep the ball out of his hands.

We tried to get some steals from the pressure because we needed to get more possessions.

brown chance credit good lead needed second shot shots zone
We had the lead back-and-forth in the second half, and I thought we had a chance to win. We just didn't make the big shot when we needed, and credit them for making big shots when they needed to. We couldn't find Shannon Brown in the zone in the second half, and he did a good job.
