forward next
We've got something to look forward to next year.
close game home pick
With the game that close on your home court, we've got to pick up our defense.
couple defense easy gave
I was really disappointed in our defense down the stretch. We gave up too many easy baskets. They got a couple of dunks and a couple of layups. That can't happen. Not in the playoffs. Not at home. Not anywhere.
intensity match second
We just couldn't match their intensity in the second half.
execute liked shots
We just didn't execute down the stretch. I thought we got the shots we wanted. I liked our effort.
heads sooner turn
We've got to keep our heads up. We're going to turn this around sooner or later.
good played work
We were very fortunate. Obviously, there are a lot of things we have to work on. I thought we played good defense.
cushion difference fourth gave good moved opened played playing start starters tough
That was the difference in the game. They gave the starters a cushion at the start of the fourth quarter. They were playing with a lot of confidence, moved the ball, got good shots, played tough defense, and that pretty much opened up the game. So the starters got back in and put it away.
adjust aggressive came instead second settling shots style taking
I came out more aggressive in the second half, not settling for three-point shots and instead taking it to the basket, ... That?s my style ?- being able to adjust during the game.
heads kept main regardless stay streak
The main thing is we kept our heads up, didn't get down. We said (the streak is) going to end, we just have to stay together, regardless of the injuries.
team games trying
I don't get caught in the match-ups, trying to outduel somebody. It's a team game.
brother littles wanted
I always wanted a little brother because I felt like the little brother had to do everything.
player love-is nba
I'm a competitive player, and I love being on the court. If the NBA cancels the season I'm definitely looking at my options and considering going overseas.
golf college kansas
I worked at a hospital for a week. And at a golf course when I was in college at Kansas for about a week. The tips weren't good so I quit.
