becomes conference easy gets gives physical presence
As the conference gets competitive, it becomes physical, and he is our physical presence in there. Really that's what he gives us, and that's pretty easy to see.
control field game goal hurt physical shoot tough
It was a very physical game that got out of control and that hurt our field goal percentage. It's tough to shoot when it's that physical of a game.
along coin decided determination few final gaining game kept last past points time toss turning wins
There hasn't been a difference. Over the past two years, each and every game was a coin toss that was decided in the final minutes. We just kept on gaining determination and smelling wins every time we played. There's just been a lot of little turning points along the way in last few years.
attacked shooting stay
We attacked the basket. When you're not shooting well, you have to stay aggressive.
ball handled players team
Every team is a little different, but this year, our perimeter players have handled the ball more in decision-making time.
available injuries people tough
Unfortunately, he's had a lot of little injuries going on every year. It's tough because, in a way, people get used to you not being around or available or being there. Right now, he's just rounding into shape.
hit offense standing
We weren't in rhythm. We started standing around on offense and Hicks hit some shots.
honor player week
I think it was a well-deserved honor. He was a two-time player of the week and the only underclassman on the first team.
aware conference game guys tough
Our guys are aware of just how tough this conference is. We just have to play it one game at a time.
league top
From top to bottom, I just don't see how there could be a better league in the nation.
bounce good league lost step worrying
We lost to two good teams, so I don't sense frustration. We have more bounce in our step now and can just go out and play without worrying about the league title.
almost energetic feed game huge knocked played settled shots
He was very, very energetic early, almost too energetic. But once he settled into the game he knocked down some huge shots and played solid. We feed off how he plays.
With us, who knows? You just don't know where it's going to come from, and our guys, when they're called upon, they answer.
early executing good half looks missed open second shots
We started out well, executing and getting open shots in rhythm. They crawled back into it right at the end of the first half, and in the second half we got some good looks early but missed them.
