against appealing area beat came definitely division great improve positive situation talented teams tough
(Brandon) is a great player, but you can't beat the kind of teams he got to play against once he got on our team. And that's definitely appealing to Division I coaches. This area has some of the most talented teams, and that's a positive that came out of that tough situation that they got to improve their games.
beat becomes bunch dribble guys jason pass shoot
We got beat on dribble penetration and that was huge. They have a bunch of guys that can shoot and pass the ball. When you have Jason (Kidd), it becomes contagious.
beat
I thought he tried. He was active, but we still got beat the same way.
beat block create field free goal high line loose shots throw
We get beat on turnovers every night. We can't get to the free throw line as much as our opponent, we don't create turnovers or block shots (or) get loose balls. So that's the end result, we give up a lot of points, a high field goal percentage.
beat fun good looked playing playoff summer team
I looked out on the court, we had our summer team out there to beat a pretty good team. You know we are playing a playoff team and competing, and it was really fun to watch.
beat defend dribble expect open road
When you get beat on dribble penetration, it's going to open up a lot of things. You can't defend on the road like this and expect to win.
beaten shared
It was like the JV and the varsity. I think they could've beaten us by 50 the way they executed and shared the ball.
against beaten
It was like the JV against the varsity. I think they could've beaten us by 50.
badly beat behind hopefully inside james presence somebody
Not having Eddy and Jerome James is everything. You see how badly we get beat if somebody drives. We have no shot-blocking, no inside presence on defense. Or offense. So it's huge. But hopefully all that's behind him.
beat coached drum game last respect succeeded
They used to beat us like a drum when I was with Indiana, ... And I told our team, 'Let's just get him to uncross his legs.' And we succeeded in the last game I coached at Indiana. But I have a lot of respect for what he's done.
beat caliber ignore people
I think that's where people really started to take notice. To beat those caliber of teams, you can't ignore that.
beat coaches college game special wonderful
He beat me in my first college game and made me feel good. He was a pretty special man. He was always wonderful to me. He's what all coaches should be about.
beats guys help nobody
I'm mad, ... But that's my responsibility. I've got to get guys to play the right way. But I see a two-on-one break, and we don't make a pass. Defensively, a guy beats us and there's nobody there to help out.
advantages against athletic caught playing score team tried
We tried to score too fast. Against an athletic team like them, that's tough. I thought we had advantages if we could go inside, but we just got caught up playing their tempo.
