loose
They need to be focused. They need to be energized. But they also need to be loose and confident, and I see that.
early great heels kept seemed shots throughout uphill
They got off to a great start. They made shots early and it seemed like they kept making them throughout the game. They got us on our heels early, and we didn't get stops. From that point, it was an uphill battle.

We started the game with stops and conversions, and we started the second half with stops and conversions. ? We knew we had to make it tough for them to score. We had to stay in their faces all night. No easy baskets.
focused
Be focused but have fun. We play better when we're focused but when we're at ease.

himself leader
He's established himself as the leader of this team.

He's unselfish. Copeland said he was ready, let's go. We made some free throws late, and Whitney and Copeland are one of the best inside-outside combinations in the conference.

We really came out ready and we showed we were here to compete and to win.

Turnovers, even more so than our shooting percentage, is a concern. Our assist-to-turnover ratio needs to get better.

Our resume is definitely strong enough to get us to the NCAA Tournament.

When they get it going on all cylinders, the game can slip away, and in a hurry. We already know that they're a tough team rebounding and they get out in transition. Once they knock down shots, they're real tough.

We may have to use different people. It's a tough match-up for us because of his size and talent. He's a tough match-up for any team. He's great in transition. He can also hit 15- and 18-foot pull-ups and post you. He's just a tough cover at the three.
