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.
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.
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.
deserved hard regular season tournament type worked
They worked hard and deserved the type of regular season they had, but it's over with. Now we go down to the tournament, and when you go to the tournament you go to win.
defensive few good knocked patient played
It was lunch-bucket, blue-collar, nothing fancy. They're a good defensive team. I thought we played well defensively, and we were a little more patient and knocked down a few more shots.
hit offense standing
We weren't in rhythm. We started standing around on offense and Hicks hit some shots.
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.
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.
austin both great guard job love spots
Austin is what I love in a player. He is very determined. He can play both guard spots and does a great job defensively on and off the ball.
arena coming crowd dictates last maybe players seems
It seems like something here in Pershing Arena dictates it's going to come down to the last seconds. Maybe it's just a ploy by our players to get the crowd coming back.
best box defensive players
Derek does many things for us that don't show up in the box scores. I think that he is one of the best defensive players in the league, but doesn't get the recognition there because he doesn't get many steals.
breaks key
They had some key breaks go their way, obviously.
conference hopefully huge last playing scholars-and-scholarship
It's a huge week. Hopefully we could be playing for a conference championship in that last game.
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.
