best call defense game half second year
Our defense was the best it's been all year in the first half and most of the second half. At the end the game just got crazy, I don't know what you'd call that.
good half patience quite second shots
We didn't have quite enough patience on offense. When we got shots and really we got some good ones, and in the second half we got a lot of good ones. We just didn't make anything.
boards good job second
We just didn't do a good job on the boards in the first half. We did a better job in the second half.
call game gave half looked rather second thrown tonight watched
I didn't like the non-calls. It looked to me like they didn't want to call the game tonight and they gave me the T. I've never been thrown out of a game. I wanted the technical. You can't say this is an exhibition. I watched the game in the second half and they called them. I'd rather not have been thrown out. I'm disappointed. I wanted to be out there.
boards dominated either second time
We were not in either game. The first time we battled them on the boards remarkably. The second time they dominated us.
ball bit care good hard high movement second trying unsure
We're not a high turnover team. We take care of the ball well in games. I think we're a little bit unsure offensively and everyone's trying too hard to make something happen. But we have to get better movement. In the second half, we got a little better movement and a little better spacing and we got some real good possessions.
gets good hitting job letting open second
You can't let him get loose. He showed what he can do when it gets open by hitting those two threes in the second half. For the most part, we did a good job of not letting him get set.
available billy bottom breaking confident deal issues law line personal second sure talked
It had nothing to do with the law or breaking rules. He just had some personal issues he had to deal with. We've never talked about it, and we never will. I'm sure Billy never will either. The bottom line is, we think he's on the right track, and we're pretty confident he'll be available second semester.
bad ball game hurt played shot stop
We just really couldn't stop them defensively enough to get to where we wanted to go. They shot the ball well. They played well, ... We made some uncharacteristically bad turnovers in this game that really hurt us.
consider played teams ten three top
We just played three teams I consider to be Top Ten teams and, right now, we're not a Top Ten team.
consider four games great monday nobody played row sad saturday teams three top weeks
We just played three teams I consider to be Top 10 teams and, right now, we're not a Top 10 team. It's sad we have to play great teams back-to-back ... that's not the right way. Nobody else has to do that, play back-to-back Saturday and Monday games two weeks in a row with three of four on the road. That's too much to ask.
caused kinds lack patience
We just had a lack of patience in the first half. It caused us all kinds of problems.
miss pushing trying
We were pushing up on him, zoning him, double-teaming him, trying to do anything we could to get him to just miss a little bit. He was terrific.
key missed
We missed Terrence, ... He's a big key for us on the boards.
