against attitude ball believe establish far five guys happens ourselves people playing shot
People haven't shot the ball well against us. That's what happens sometimes. As far as what we want to do and how we want to do it, we have five guys that believe in playing the way we are playing defensively, and that attitude is what allows us to establish ourselves sometimes.
effort inside second took
Our inside effort really took it in the second half.
good half intensity job kept offense putting second taking tone
I thought we did a good job defensively in the first half of taking them out of their offense and that really set the tone for the game. We kept our intensity in the second half and did a good job of putting them away.
bench boost good
I thought we got a good boost from our bench early. They really got us going.
early great job respect
I thought we had to go out there early and make them respect us. I thought we did a great job of that.
ball clock drove foul knight scoring tone worst
I thought the tone was set at 1:19 when Knight drove the ball and they called a foul on Abe. The clock stopped, and they're scoring points. That's the worst thing.
against ball care chance great obviously order ourselves quick shots work
I think we have to take care of the ball in order to get some quick shots against them. They are obviously great athletes, great players. They get the ball up and down very quickly. We are going to have to find a way to work with that so we can get back and give ourselves a chance to defend.
