credit extremely gave played
Give a lot of credit to Boise State. They played extremely well, very tough, never gave up.
road streak
Fresno is No. 1 in our conference. Let's go up there and see if we can play well and keep our road streak going.
bad beat game hopefully practice second state system talked team tournament year
We talked about this being the team that beat us in the tournament at practice yesterday. Hopefully we got that bad game out of our system for the year in the second Kent State game.
area attacked basketball bother left percent played pressure rush scoring seconds shot
When we attacked their pressure we were fine. But 75 percent of the game, we let their press bother us. When we played around with their press, we got into our scoring area with 10 or 12 seconds left (on the 30-second shot clock) and we had to rush a shot.
efficient playing tired
When we get the ball, we're not as efficient because we're tired and often take the first shot. We're playing into our opponents' hands.
although good instead shoot stepping stood toward waited
We stood and waited too much instead of stepping toward the ball. We did not shoot well although we got some good looks.
control depend happens number
We can't control anything like that. A lot is going to depend on what happens with our RPI number and what happens with other teams.
advantage beat breaker tied
We are tied for third. But they have the advantage if there's a tie breaker because they beat Fresno.
defense quicker
We wanted to go to a smaller, quicker lineup to play man-to-man on defense and that got us back in the game.
executing five hopefully last peak tournament trying turned
We've been executing really well (the last five games). So hopefully we're getting things turned around at the right time. Like I told the kids, we're trying to peak for the tournament now.
afford dropped game gift lose wrapped
We gift wrapped this game and they dropped it. We can't afford to play like this (tomorrow) or we'll lose by 40.
defeat
We had considerable consideration, but we didn't get in.
advantage both defensive floor happened helped hopefully sides spots time
Those were two big issues. We weren't in the right spots at the right time and that helped their defense. We need to use both sides of the floor and hopefully take advantage of a defensive lapse. This has happened before. We'll keep working on it.
attack breaking press
We want to attack the press with the idea of scoring, not just breaking it.
