battle former great guys key tough
He's a great player, a tough kid, a former McDonald's All-American. The key is we have tough guys who can battle down low, and we're deep, so we can keep rotating guys in to play him very physical.
confidence freshmen good guess played stands surprised toughest
We've been pretty good in all the months, but I guess that one stands out. We had a lot of confidence in the freshmen, but I am surprised at how well they have played defensively. That's always the toughest thing for freshmen and they still have a long way to go.
game lose percent running second shoot tough whatever
It's tough to lose a game when you shoot 74 percent in the second half. We have to be better defensively. For whatever reason, we were running into their screens.
both dad figure tougher
It's probably tougher for my dad and my mom, who want to figure out a way to go to both games.
tough
It's going to be a tough one for us because rebounding is Connecticut's strength, too.
conference couple gotten last league question rise seven talk tough tougher
It's as tough as it has been, no question. There's no question the league has gotten tougher the last couple of years. When we first got into the conference seven years ago there was talk that the conference was down a little bit. The conference is on the rise the last couple of years.
prettiest tough
It wasn't our prettiest game. It was tough and we battled through.
foul free guys playing teams tough trouble
They were a physical, tough team. Those were two teams getting after it and playing aggressive. We didn't outbound them and they got more free throws. Obviously, our big guys having foul trouble had something to do with it.
continue good knew principles shots stick tough
We knew what they want to do and how good they are off the dribble. They make tough shots and, when they do, you have to continue to play defense, to stick to your principles and rules. That's what we did.
goal hard less number shoot tough
Turnovers are a big thing to me. We're pretty good. Our goal is always less than 12. That's a tough number to shoot for, but it's a hard number to achieve.
good shots sign tough
They made some tough shots early, and we withstood it. So that's another good sign for us.
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.
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.
basket earn finishing forced saw tough wing
Keith penetrated and got to the basket very well. Defensively, he made them earn their points, forced them to take tough shots. He's also exceptional at finishing on the wing in transition, which we also saw a lot of tonight.
