bigger certain guards guys last number played players programs smaller three
We've always played three guards in certain instances over the years. A number of programs do that. Oftentimes, your smaller players are your better players. Last year, our bigger guys were our better players.
ball good move
We're going to play our same style. We're going to play to our strengths. We're not going to change. We're going to defend. We're going to take good shots. We're going to move the ball around. We're going to do the things we've been doing all season.
ball best chasing constantly decided jumping keeping running shots sudden summer work year
What he's doing best this year is keeping the ball up around the basket. He's running better. He's jumping better. He's chasing down shots a lot better than he ever had. But it's not like all of a sudden this summer he decided to work on these things. He's been constantly improving.
cut knowing nba next remember time
I remember that very vividly. Not being there at the time and knowing - I've been there before. I was cut by the NBA so I know the feeling. It was tough, but the next day she really showed me what she was about.
given guys
I haven't really given it much thought. We're not guys that look at records.
defense hurt points running
His defense was very good. He did not hurt us defensively. If he does that stuff, the points will come. We have to get him running more and to the boards.
aaron moving
But I told Aaron that it's over and we're moving on.
ask battle boards five game gotten last left lose minute people rivalry teams time together
If you told me we were going to lose the battle of the boards by 11 and have it still be a one-point game with a minute left I would have been surprised. It's amazing. Every time these teams have gotten together in the last five years, every game has been like this down to the end. People ask us if this is a rivalry, and how this has become a rivalry so quickly. Every game has been a battle.
battle believed less lose minute remaining
If you would have told me we would lose the rebounding battle by 11 and only be down by one with less than a minute remaining I wouldn't have believed you.
guess guys numbers shots
I guess the numbers say it right there. These two guys made shots all night.
confidence guys numbers played previous stick
I had a lot of confidence in some of the guys that hadn't played a lot before this year. Their numbers didn't stick out from the previous year.
aaron ahead highly players
If you remember, Aaron wasn't highly recruited. Look at him now. He's better than a lot of the players recruited ahead of him.
guy playing
If you look at the numbers, a new guy will be playing significant minutes.
defended half offense played
In the first half we played very well, we defended very well, which got our offense going.
