played teams
We played well in the first half, and we should have been up by more. Teams lose. It's how you respond, and we've always responded well.
five good guys obviously played ready six
We played well early. That would kind of make you think the guys were obviously ready to play and there was nothing else on their minds. During the first five or six minutes, we were about as good as we've been all year.
We play to our strengths, what we have out there on the floor.
blanket focus further guys help people ready situation smart statement talk time
We want to help all our guys in any way we can, if they want to further their careers, but our focus is on our guys and getting ready for (first-round opponent) Louisville. People are smart enough to know when the right time is to talk about other schools. Every situation is different, so to give a blanket statement wouldn't be the right thing to do.
best defense
We battled. Our defense was the best it's been. That's really been our emphasis.
good practices
They've been healthy, and they've had good practices lately. That's where you get better.
league matter playing seem
They seem to be playing well. But it didn't matter who we were going to be playing, we were going to be playing someone good. Everyone in the league is playing well right now.
good shots sign tough
They made some tough shots early, and we withstood it. So that's another good sign for us.
deserved played plays seniors stepped throughout
They made plays at the end. Their seniors stepped up and made big plays throughout the game. They played well and deserved this win. I thought we would have played better.
cincinnati force four push seniors team typical
They have four seniors that play a lot of minutes. They force turnovers, they push you in transition, they use some traps. It's a typical Cincinnati team that's had some injuries.
competition days forward practice seem today wisconsin
They don't seem any different today than they were two days ago or before the Wisconsin game. I don't see any real changes. I think they just look forward to the competition in practice that day, and that's what they think about.
both shots similar themselves
They're similar players. They can both do things off the dribble. They're both NBA-type guards. They both can get shots for themselves and get shots for other guys.
conference games high leading matter shoot win
They're going to take them, no matter what. They're not leading the conference in 3-point percentage, but in attempts, they are. They're going to make some 3s. Sometimes, they win some games when they don't shoot a high percentage.
conference easy feed games high leading open shoot shot talk tough win
They're not leading the conference in 3-point percentage. They win games when they don't shoot a high percentage. They're going to make some 3s. They'll make some tough 3s. We talk about making them all tough shots. We can't give them any easy or open ones. When you give them an easy shot it just going to feed their confidence.
