best creates outside passes playing within
He is one of our best outside shooters AND one of our best post-up players. He passes well and creates things. Every game, he's playing more and more within the team.
beating people sixth
Not too many people know about us. But we like being the underdogs. We're like the Steelers. We're the sixth seed, but we're beating (higher-seeded) teams.
defense guys putting took transition
We just pretty much took them out of transition by getting back on defense and just hunkering down and putting a lot of guys in the paint.
confusing covering josh nice taylor
We just had to find a groove. They did a nice job. Obviously, they scouted us and made it confusing for us. Josh Taylor was covering Antonio much of the time.
contain holding pryor
We wanted to contain Pryor and holding him to 11 was big for us.
definitely last missing people piece puzzle second
Boy, did he come through in the second half. He's that missing piece of the puzzle we didn't have last year. If people think we don't have anything but Antonio, they're definitely missing the boat.
against almost athletic contrast exactly extremely game mirror played playing plays short style styles tall teams
There's no contrast in styles this game. It will be who plays their style of game better. We've played against up-tempo, athletic teams that were tall and short all the way up to the this point. Now, we're playing a team that's exactly like us, almost a mirror image. It's going to be extremely interesting to see how this goes.
gone players stop teams three
Some teams have gone zone, some teams have gone box-and-one or diamond-and-one but we have a very well-rounded team. You can't stop two or three players on our team. You have to stop all five.
ball draw great guys hit inside job letting middle needed outside shoot shots took
Antonio was going to the middle and he did a great job on the boards. He is 6-foot-6 and so athletic. They were letting our guys shoot outside and I needed him to take the ball to the hole. He hit some big 3-point shots and took the ball inside to draw a lot of fouls.
deliberate likes run seen team
That's how we play. We use a very deliberate style. Jeannette likes to run up and down the floor. I don't think they've seen a team like us this year.
ball effort fighting foul hurt impressed inside kept push stay
I was impressed with his effort to get the ball in the paint. We thought we could push him around and make him stay outside. We leaned on him, but he kept fighting to get inside position. He made his foul shots, and that hurt us.
afraid last mike played
Mike played outstanding. He played hard. We played different because we weren't afraid like we were last game.
front game games hate intensity lost needed people pick playing
I hate to say it, but the intensity of this game after playing in front of 6,000 people two games in a row, I think we just lost our intensity. We just needed to pick it up.
character concerned gotten job needs offensive second situations team
There was no way they should've gotten those offensive boards. They just wanted it more - what concerned me about that was the character of our team needs to come through in situations like that. We did much better job in the second half.
