challenged expecting jump start
We challenged him and have been expecting him to have this kind of game. Hopefully, this will jump start him.
ball close decided five foul game games happened last lost minutes missed percentage three totally turned winning
We had the game totally salted away. Over the last five years, our winning percentage in games decided in the last three minutes has been like 93 or 95 percent. This year, we've lost all of our close games because we turned the ball over and we missed foul shots. That's what happened out there tonight.
supposed
We're super-duper young, so we're getting inconsistent performances. That's my fault, because I'm supposed to get them to be consistent, but we're just going to keep going at it.
ball early easy inside kept reason whatever
We were working the ball inside early and getting easy shots. But for whatever reason we just kept going away from that.
confidence hopefully shown throughout
They have shown glimpses of that kind of play throughout the season. Hopefully with a little confidence, we can be a little more consistent.
famous gotten inventions last people percent quit season serious until
If people quit after 25 percent of anything, there would be some serious inventions or famous people that wouldn't have been discovered. So we're not going to quit after 25 percent. We still have 75 percent of the season to play, so we're just going to keep grinding. Even if we don't find it until the last game, we will have gotten there.
defense dug effort energy four games motions played seemed
I'm embarrassed with our effort tonight. We played four games before tonight, and in every game we competed and dug in on defense and really played with some energy and enthusiasm. We just seemed like we were going through the motions tonight.
