defense energy good knocking played second shots
We still played good defense in the first half, but our shots just weren't falling, ... Our defense was clicking. In the second half, we just started knocking them down. We were attacking, and our energy was up.
behind practice second time
This is the second season. This is where we start. We'll put the preseason behind us. This is the time where we need to be focused. This is about getting better in practice every day.
blame blaming half jump lost mistakes possession second
I take the blame for this one. Being a senior, I should be able to do more. . . . I'm not blaming it on that one possession (where he lost it). We were up in the first half and in the second half we didn't jump on them. I don't blame one play. Mistakes happen.
against biggest defense minutes second shot surprise team
That doesn't surprise me. Against a team like that, if they keep getting second chances, they will score. We don't want to play defense for two minutes (per possession). Our biggest thing was one shot for them.
win
We're going to win all seven; that's my plan. I don't know about all that other stuff.
came half late letting run
It was those little mistakes. They came out aggressive. We just had to be patient. And late in the first half we did, letting things come to us. We made that run and got back in the game.
comfort defense fast guards limited pushing
Our defense got them out of their comfort zone. We limited them to one shot, and with our guards getting the rebounds, we were pushing the fast break.
biggest gotta stress team throwing toughest tried
You gotta keep throwing blows. The biggest thing I tried to stress was that the toughest team was going to win.
maybe
You always think that maybe there's something you could have done or should have done.
bring coming home stay toes
We have to stay on our toes because they will be coming for us. They are at home so we'll have to bring our 'A' game.
competitor defensive extra feeling good guy love wish
It'd be great. My feeling is I would love to have him. That's just me. He's a competitor that we could use. It's always good to have an extra perimeter guy you can go to, especially on the defensive end. Just as long as he handles his business, that's good. I wish him the best.
coaches confidence emotions role
Man, this was big. It was emotion. It wasn't boasting. That's my role on my team. My team, my coaches put that confidence in me.
came four games last played team together
We came together more in these last two games than any team I've played for in my four years at Arizona.
coaches confidence letting patient team
I am being patient and letting things come to me. The team and the coaches have confidence in me. They feel everything with me is about being patient and in a groove.
