ball learn turned
I thought we turned the ball over a little too much, but it's something we can learn from.
apologize ball character court number teammates trying win
First of all, I want to apologize to my coach, teammates and the organization. That was way out of my character and I was wrong. I was frustrated, thought I had been fouled a number of times trying to get the ball up the court and I just really wanted to win this game.
against bad ball couple good opportunity plays shoot shots takes team
All my shots were flat. We didn't shoot the ball well as a team (39 percent) but we still had an opportunity at the end. We had a couple bad plays and that's all it takes against a good team.
blake continue freshman fun game guys hopefully learned lots playing push since sophomore team understand year
Blake and I have been playing with each other since his freshman year and my sophomore year (at Maryland) so we have lots of fun playing with one another. We understand each other and the game. We've learned a lot since we've been in the game so hopefully we can continue to push the young guys on the team and hopefully we can continue to get better.
came good looked watched
I was right there and watched the whole time. It looked good -- just came up short.
certain expect guys
Certain guys take it personal. If I need to do something better, I expect someone to come tell me, because I can take constructive criticism. I don' think a lot of us can take it.
great guards point three top
Baron is one of the better guards in the league. He is probably one of the top three point guards. He is a great passer and he can also defend. ... He had a great day.
growing hopefully playing smart solid
We're growing up, man. We're growing up as a team. We're playing smart and we're solid for 48 minutes. Hopefully we'll keep on going in that direction.
aggressive both came coach drew ends games guys heart last played six struggled
We've struggled the last six games not getting any wins, so we wanted to come out with a lot of heart and be aggressive on both ends of the floor. Guys came out and we executed. Before the game, coach ( Nate McMillan ) drew a big heart on the chalkboard. He wanted to see what we were made of. We came out and played well tonight.
coach feels game good knowing last looking mark
It feels good going into each and every game knowing when you are going into the game, ... I know here, coach is looking to put me in around the three- or four-minute mark of the first quarter. Last year, I had no idea. You could never get a feel for the rotation.
basketball challenge defensive execute good guys hopefully learning principles supposed
I think guys are learning defensive principles and where they're supposed to be on the basketball court. So hopefully we can go out there and execute on the defensive end. It's a good challenge for us to see where we are.
defense easily streak winning
Our defense was great. Can't say enough about our defense. It's tough, because it easily could've been a five-game winning streak if we just executed better down the stretch.
both defense defensive definitely ends executing far game great last plan principles style team three
I think we're definitely getting close, as far as just executing his game plan -- his style of play on both ends of the floor. Great team defense the last three games. I think everybody's defensive principles are getting better.
guys head pulled sloppy unlike
It got sloppy out there at the end. We pulled through. Guys were able to keep their head - unlike me - and we got a much-needed win.
