beginning best cooling demand easy extremely gas high natural oil people prices winter
There's no demand for cooling and heating demand is not there yet -- heating oil and natural gas prices are extremely high and people are doing their best to take it easy at the beginning of the winter season.
board create easy eliminate game guys jump sure telling trying watching
I'm sure Billy's telling his guys and they're watching tape, (saying) 'If you're not careful, LSU will board you and jump over you and jump over you and get easy baskets. I'm sure they're trying to eliminate those opportunities as we're trying to create more of them in that game Saturday.
best duke early easy fight five job knew nice pressure seven team
We knew early on that Duke was going to try and pressure us, do what they do best and get in lanes. Our team was able to fight through that, and we scored some easy baskets on them. We did a nice job in the first five or seven minutes, and after that, they knew they would be in a contest.
easy focus miss seen
Our focus wasn't there. It was kind of a workmanlike win. It was a win, but I've never seen us miss that many easy buckets. It was a win.
easy northeast opened quarter solid struggled third together
Northeast didn't make it easy for us. We struggled in the first half, started to put together some solid play in the third quarter then opened it up in the fourth.
winning easy beats
Before you can beat me (this is the easy part), you have to allow yourself to win.
ben great man people send tried
We tried to send people stunting and tried to man up on him, but Ben had great feet.
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.
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.
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.
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.
