basketball defense offense playing slowing style talked terms watch
We've talked more about defense in practice. When we watch film, that's all we watch is defense -- we don't even watch our offense right now. (Defense) has just been our focus. We're playing a different style of basketball right now in terms of slowing it down. We're playing well.
along clicked effort finger playing sudden
We've just been playing harder. I don't know why this has all of a sudden clicked like it has. We've said all along we have tools, we have talent. For a while, our effort just wasn't there, but I can't put a finger on why it was that way.
fun looking player playing
We've been looking for something to get us going for a while. We had some long practices, we had some long meetings. But we got back to having fun out there. When you're having fun, you're going to player harder. When you're playing harder, you're playing better defense.
both feels fitting key nice playing together
It's all about fitting together and playing together. If we do that, we really have a nice team. That's the key for us. If everyone feels like they're playing at both ends, they're going to play harder.
allen greater leader leading playing tough
We?re just playing together, we?re playing with a greater sense of urgency, and Allen is leading us. I really feel like he?s the key. He?s the leader and he?s been playing great. He?s been a lot more vocal. He has a different look in his eye. And when he has that look, he?s pretty tough to stop.

athletic beginning blocking both changes envisioned guys hurt playing points shots
It changes everything. They're two guys with the same athletic makeup. They're blocking shots and getting rebounds. Second-chance points are something that's really hurt us this year. And when those guys are both playing like that, (the opponent) isn't getting any of that. It really does change a lot of things for us. This is really what we had envisioned at the beginning of the season.
allen numbers playing puts
Allen just comes out and performs, and the numbers he puts up are great. He's just playing really really well right now.
ankle games maybe pickup played thousands worried
I?ve played in thousands of pickup games and maybe sprained an ankle here and there, but you can?t be that worried about it,
half played second
The second half is how we have to play. That half was played with a sense of urgency.
came hopefully month start tough
Things just came to me. It has been a tough month and hopefully this is the start of a better part of the season.
exactly gone last season trying win
You always wanted to get that last win at home. The season hasn't gone exactly the way we wanted it to go, but you want to end it right - so that's what we're trying to do.
knows needed shown together tough
We're all just pretty disappointed. It was a long year, a tough year, a disappointing year. We're a lot better than what we've shown all year. I think everyone knows that. We just didn't come together like we needed to. There wasn't the cohesiveness we needed on this team.
good maybe
Maybe it'll be a good thing. Maybe we just need to get out of here and just say it's us or nothing.
