call five seconds strange
The call on the five seconds was strange because there was no count.
ben constant emphasis knew likely percent point priority understood
At worst, we're 90 percent, and we'll likely be at 100 percent by the end of the summer. When Ben and I got here, we understood the numbers, and we knew what our priority had to be. This has been a constant point of emphasis for us.
practice time
This is the first time he's really been able to practice in two years.
good teams
Somebody's going to lose. Good teams are going to lose.
ball played player quicker run
Novak was more of a catch-and-shoot player when we played them in the tournament. Now he can put the ball on the floor. He can run the floor. He's agile, a quicker player. He's just a much better player.
hitting zone
I thought we'd see a lot more zone than we did. It got down to our penetration and Carl hitting those 3s. Our penetration was good, especially when they went man-to-man.
beat coming free ground improve knew ways
I thought we just battled and ground out a victory. We beat them on the boards, which is a thing we knew we had to do coming into the game, and we beat them badly. We also had to get better at making free throws, and we need to improve defensively. We still have a long ways to go.
adversity foul good played shots throughout
I thought we battled, we played hard, we got through some adversity with the foul trouble. We made some shots at the end but we didn't make them consistently throughout the game. They're a good team, but we need to play better.
coming game knew playing team teams tough
I thought they were really a tough team and got after it. We knew that coming into the game and we know it now. It was two teams getting after it, playing aggressive.
I think we're all right with the injury.
ball court good guys passed played
I think we passed the ball well and got a lot of good performances from guys on the court and off the bench. I thought all of our guys played very well.
beat fortunate good guys ready solid syracuse team
I thought our guys had a whole team effort, and our defense, rebounding and decision-making was solid all the way through. We were fortunate to beat a very good team and we've got to get ready for Syracuse now.
conference deserve given great guys ncaa nine playing season stepped talked teams tonight
I think we should have nine teams in the NCAA tournament. I think we should set a record. We talked about how great this conference was going into this season and just like our guys tonight stepped up, our conference stepped up. We deserve nine bids. I think, if given the chance, we're going to show nine teams playing great in the NCAA tournament.
next satisfied week
I say it every week. I'll be the same next week and it'll be the same the week after that. I try to make it a new idea, but it's not changing. I'll never be satisfied with (the defense).
