concerns good inside league outside player threat
What concerns me is that they have a lot of weapons. They take the most 3-pointers in the league and they have a 3-point threat kind of team, but they also have a very, very good inside player in A.J. Jackson, probably as good as any inside player in the league. So they can take you outside and they can take you inside.
measure
You can measure height. But you can't measure heart.
gets good inside outside score shoot tremendous variety
A tremendous inside player. When he gets the ball, he can score in a variety of ways. He can take you outside and shoot a 3. He can face-up on the block. Then he's good around the hole. He's a very good player.
believe game heart possibly prepared sacred start talk tremendous until
Every game is a must game. That?s how we look at it. It would be tremendous (to start 3-0), but we don?t look at it as a two-game set. We won?t talk about Sacred Heart until we get back from LIU. We need to be as prepared as we possibly can be because I believe it?s more challenging on the road.
collection players stars work
We have a collection of players who just work hard. There are no stars on this team.
lenny lit performance
We got an outstanding performance from Lenny Jefferson, who lit it up early.
bad good great minutes played respond road
We got slapped around at Monmouth. We've played some great minutes and some bad minutes this season. I really don't know how good we are. We'll see on the road how we respond from the Monmouth experience.
coming defended few free limited players points quite rebounds
They got quite a few points in limited attempts, they made free throws, they got rebounds and they defended pretty well. That?s what you would like them to do as players coming off the bench.
defense thinking time value
There was a time when he was thinking offense, offense, offense. Now he understands the value of defense and he?s one of our better defenders.
central player shake shook
A Central Connecticut player would not have done that. I did not shake his hand. I shook everyone else's.
played
It?s always important to have him. He was big for us tonight. He played well but I thought we all played well.
best game performance scoring year
It was our best performance of the year defensively. That's the second-lowest scoring game they've had in 25 games.
certain defending open people plays run work
They run more plays than the (Detroit) Pistons. There is no way we could work on defending all those plays. They have plays to get certain people open at certain times, and they run them all so well.
athletic defend offensive present problems score somehow somewhere sure
They?re very athletic so we have to make sure we score a lot of points. Somehow we need to defend and keep them in the 60s somewhere and try to outscore them. They?re an offensive team, and they will present a lot of problems for us.
