guys seen
I've seen him do it 100 times in practice. The guys know if they get open, he'll find them.
besides four guys taking three
We didn't want to be stagnant. We wanted three or four guys besides Zack taking shots.
definitely finally game good guys hard higher players
That game was definitely a boost. We know we can play with anyone. We have much higher expectations now. These guys are hungry. The players have put in a lot of hard work, and it's good to see we're finally there.
ball guys last players problem ran sitting watching
Last year, our other guys ran into the problem of sitting and watching Crawford and Thomsen. Players used to get out of their way. This year, they know they'll get the ball and they know we need them to score.
ball brings complete gets guy hits knows plays rest shots team tough turn
He does it every night, basically. I think the rest of the team knows that. He's the guy we're going to turn to when the going gets tough and he just does everything for us: Rebounds, plays their big guy, hits the big shots and brings the ball up when we're having trouble. He's just a complete all-around player.
beat both defensive dish easier ends floor guy harder involved knows needs plays team ultimate
He's the ultimate team player. He plays both ends of the floor and probably plays harder on the defensive end. He knows everyone needs to be involved in our offense, so if he can beat a guy or two, he's going to dish for an easier shot.
ask beginning believed bigger definitely guys hustle season
These guys definitely overachieved. If you had told me at the beginning of the season we would be here today, I wouldn't have believed you. We play bigger than we are, we hustle and we play with a lot pride. That's all you ask for really.
ball coming easy pressure third turned
Especially coming off the third quarter, we really put the pressure on them, turned the ball over and got some easy baskets.
hoping
I was hoping he could at least see out of one eye, so he could still shoot.
arena huge step
Getting to the Arena is a huge step for our program.
defend everybody involved looking offensive score
If we defend better and offensively get everybody else involved and looking to score we'll be all right. And definitely, we need to keep them off the offensive boards.
hit inside job offensive points
We got a lot of points inside and we really hit the offensive boards, which I thought we could do a better job of.
biggest great leader
The biggest thing is he makes everyone around him better. He was a great leader on the team.
ball beat bigger shoot
They were bigger than us, but they didn't shoot the ball real well from the outside. We wanted to make them beat us from the outside.
