against ball quick score tried
We tried to score a little too quick against their zone. We got the ball where we wanted, but we tried to score without getting the ball reversed.
against ball half mean nine patient points team time worked
We scored nine points and had 10 turnovers in the first half against a zone! When I tell the team to be patient I don't mean make 40 passes, just four. Every time we worked the ball around, we got it inside.
against effort fly good happy hard overall played talented team
We played hard all night. I thought we did some very good things on the fly against a talented team tonight. I am happy with the overall effort that we gave.
against credit defense defensive good performance played year
We played good defense all year long and we got a lot of credit for it against Duke. We had to have another defensive performance tonight.
against fair listen offered run school serious somebody
If another school made a serious run and offered me something that I thought was fair for me, I'd take a look at it. But what I'm not going to do is manufacture something to make somebody listen to me. I will never play one school against another.
against coming good mill team tough
Old Mill is a very good team. We just went on these stretches where we couldn't score. It's tough to keep coming back from 10 down against a good team like that.
against arkansas bad close decided either games good home lost played points south team three
Unfortunately they've lost some close games, but I don't look at a team as good or bad if two or three games were decided by three points either way. Arkansas played really well at home against South Carolina, and we'll have to be much better than we were against Alabama.
against assist chance compliment defended game key knew night saw thomas win
Defensively that was a key for us, because you saw the game (Aldridge) had the night before last. And we knew if he did that against us, we had no chance to win the game. So you've got to compliment Glen specifically and Tyrus Thomas as an assist in the way we defended him today.
ben great man people send tried
We tried to send people stunting and tried to man up on him, but Ben had great feet.
man playing stop
We were playing man and couldn't really stop them.
determination five goes maybe might minutes opposed playing rest short week
We might just have to play Tyrus in short stretches. As opposed to playing him 12 or 14 minutes straight, maybe he can just go five and we'll take him out, let him rest and put him back in. The more he plays, the better he'll feel and the more comfortable he'll feel. We'll make more of a determination of that as the week goes on.
field foul free next night percent
We're usually 69, 70 percent at the line. If you're not making field goals, the next thing you try to do is try and make it up at the foul line. We had 28 free throws, but we couldn't make those, either. It was that kind of night for us.
coaches eliminate extremely players tried trust
I've tried to eliminate that from my thought process. But I got it. Trust me. I got it from so many people. I got it. I know it was disappointing to us as coaches and to our players and extremely disappointing to our fans.
along ball critical far games good helped holds maybe moments shot shots timely
I've said all along that if our perimeter holds up, we're a pretty good team. So far our perimeter hasn't shot the ball as well as maybe we would have liked, but I think we've made some timely shots in critical moments of games that have helped our team.
