advantage beat breaker tied
We are tied for third. But they have the advantage if there's a tie breaker because they beat Fresno.
beaten easily game kids trap
This could be a trap game for us. We've already beaten them, and if we let our kids think that way, they could very easily beat us.
beat nevada ready
This is where is counts. If we are not ready to play, then Nevada (3-8) can beat us.
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.
dwell last percent practice saturday
We did not dwell on it. We're 80 percent in practice. I think last Saturday was just one of those games.
avoid dig eight game hole nine
We didn't want to dig our hole any deeper. We don't want to be eight or nine and have to play in the play-in game for the tournament. The only way we're going to avoid that is to get some wins.
family home needed priorities program school second situation
Our priorities for our program are your family comes first, school comes second and basketball's after that somewhere. This is a situation where she just needed to be back home for a little while and we did that.
allowed calm confidence defensive excited gave offense zone
I think our zone slowed them down, and allowed us to calm down. It gave our offense a little confidence because we were getting defensive stops. When we get stops, we get excited on offense.
games good happy job last played playing team
I think these last two games we've played more as a team than we had been doing. We really did a good job of executing, and I'm very happy with the way they're playing right now.
address move
We'll address it. Once we get it resolved, it will be over with just like any of our other issues, and we'll move forward.
adjustment beyond gives position putting rebounds score step
Pam rebounds for us, and I think with this adjustment we're putting her in a better position to score because she can step out beyond the arc. It gives her more flexibility.
