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.
bunch came chance deal desire five games last pull six together tonight win
We've been down before at the half, so it wasn't a big deal to us. Five of our last six games we've had a chance to win and didn't have the desire to pull it out. We were a bunch of individuals, but tonight we came together and were able to pull out a win.
five gets overlooked people players playing points practice pushing reason rebounds sheet
You see the first five playing ... but the reason they're playing is the people in practice are pushing them hard. A lot of times it gets overlooked because all people see are points and rebounds on the stat sheet or in the newspaper. The practice players make us good.
ball felt shoot
We felt they didn't shoot the ball well from the outside.
free point rebounds second
We got outplayed again. They killed us on the boards. At one point during the second half, they had 20 more rebounds than us. We couldn't even block-out on a free throw.
happy performance team ugly whenever
It was an ugly game. I wasn't happy with our performance in the first half, but it wasn't unexpected. Whenever this team has a layoff, we just don't play well early.
against good home wins
These were big wins for us, but now we've got to come home and keep it going against a very good Fresno team.
coming energy time
There will come a time where we use too much energy coming back and we won't be able to finish.
early job quickness second
Early on we had no-help defense, in part because of their quickness and in part because of us not being in position. We did a much better job in the second half.
needs
There's some things she still needs to do, but for all intents and purposes it's been resolved.
care games move position
Right now we're in position where we can make a significant move in the standings. So we just need to take care of our business, take care of the games we can control.
everybody good loss series work
Everybody is 0-0 going into this tournament. It's a one-game series now. This loss is not the end of the world. We did some things OK. We have some things that we need to work on, but that was a very good team. They are deservingly the WAC champions.
chance executing hard offense players trying understand win
We are still trying to get the players to understand that they are not executing our offense the way we want. Because we still have a chance to win at the end, it is hard for them to understand this, but we are not there yet.
advantage beat breaker tied
We are tied for third. But they have the advantage if there's a tie breaker because they beat Fresno.
