good players team
I was a little disappointed with the rebounding, but they're a good team with some very, very good players in the middle.
good hamilton improved last numbers player shoot step type
Hamilton is a big-time player who put up big numbers last year. He's had some injuries, but he can get it going at any time. He is very good around the basket. He can also step out and shoot it. I thought he was an all-league type player last year. And he's improved this year.
high performed player proven
He is a proven player who has performed at a high level.
against behind believed developed games good happened last played player teams
We've always thought he was a very good player and always believed in him. He just happened to play on some very good teams behind some very good players. Last year, he developed and got better. He played in a lot of big games against a lot of good people.
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.
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.
confidence players playing
They have players everyone wanted. They'll be playing with a lot of emotion, and they'll have a lot of confidence for this game.
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.
anxious battle calmed clock defense good great hard job last played ranked running rushed shots size tested towards win
This was a great win for us. I think we were anxious at first and rushed a bit. But we calmed down and played a great last 30 minutes. They're a very good team, ranked 19th in the RPI, so they're battle tested and very well coached. Their size and versatility make them hard to play against. I thought we did a good job offensively, especially running the clock at the end and getting great shots towards the end of possessions. Our defense still has a long way to go though.
defend everybody guard knows secret
We've got to defend and guard the perimeter. There's no secret there. Everybody knows that.
We've just got to keep doing the things that we're doing and keep getting better.
guy knew might pass
We knew that he might not get the assist, but he would probably pass it to the guy who would set it up.
knew
We knew it would come down to the end.
against best compete guys people practice prove
We're not really out to prove anything to people. We play to compete. These guys like to play against the best people and they like challenges. They compete here in practice and it doesn't really change.
