attacked bit couple holes late pickle stay teams wind zone
We had a couple of different things we did. I didn't think they attacked it well at times. Sometimes, you can stay in it too long and teams can find holes in your zone and I thought they did a couple of times late in the game. We wind up in a little bit of a pickle when we don't have depth.
against couple good loose start zone
He got loose against the zone and made a couple of shots. He got off to a real good start and I thought that was the key.
against couple games good last loose shots start zone
His last two games he was 2-for-15 from the field. He really concentrated on his shooting. For us to be good you can't take the shots away from him. He got loose against the zone and made a couple of shots, he got off to a real good start and I thought that was the key.
against averaged body buried felt four game games half holes last level mitchell needed points zone
The last four games, Darrel Mitchell has averaged about 26 or 27 points a game (actually 24.5), and we felt like against a zone he would find too many holes and get loose. We went to the zone once in the first half and he buried a 3 on us. I just felt like with Darrel Mitchell, right now, at the level he's been playing, we just needed to be body to body with him for 40 minutes.
basketball future good high level louisiana players realize schedule teams tech temple whether
Whether we play Winthrop or Louisiana Tech or (future opponents) Temple or (North Carolina) State, the players realize we schedule very, very good basketball teams and we've got to play at a high level every night.
beaten bottom east line teams three top
We've beaten the top three teams in the (SEC) East and the top three teams in the West, and I don't know too many other teams that have done that. The bottom line is we need to keep winning.
We got what we wanted. It just didn't go down.
game leave state taking
We're going to leave this game here - we're not taking this one with us. We didn't play very well today, and Mississippi State was terrific.
absolutely anybody good high past playing team
We're not good enough to look past anybody or have letdowns. Every team we play can absolutely put it on us when we're not playing well or at a high level.
actions bad fans great night ruin terrific
We've got great fans, terrific fans and you don't want to let the actions of one person ruin a night or have something bad happen.
extend good guys knew lead respond run
We knew they'd make a run, come back at us a little bit. They're too good of a team, too well coached, but our guys were able to respond to their run and extend the lead back up there.
best jump lost overcame player shot sweet
We're 7-6, lost our best player and we're a jump shot away from being in the Sweet 16. They overcame a lot.
chance good line ron shot three win
We're 1-of-10 from the 3-point line and we're right there and have a chance to win at the end of the game. We're down three and Ron had a pretty good shot at the end.
contact except minimal prevent shortened smart trying
We've shortened our practices. We don't really do anything to prevent injury, except doing minimal contact drills, but other than that we're just trying to be smart about how we go about practice.
