aggressive care couple course early expected half job missed offensive rebounds second shots taking talked turned
We did a better job in the second half of taking care of the ball. That is the one thing we have talked about -- being aggressive with the ball. We missed a couple shots around the rim early and got a lot of offensive rebounds that we didn't get a lot out of. But over the course of the game, it turned out a lot like I expected it.
aggressive daniel plays question
There's no question when Daniel plays aggressive and plays to his abilities, we're at our best.
aggressive ask believes block guy people stop
We ask him to be aggressive and block shots. He is just over anxious. He is a guy that really believes he can stop people from scoring.
aggressive night offensive open taking team turned
We're a better offensive team than we were the other night. We turned down some open shots, so we need to be aggressive. Being aggressive is taking an open shot.
aggressive allowed dictate hit needed style
We hit them, they hit back and we didn't respond. We were not as aggressive as we needed to be, and allowed them to dictate to us our style of basketball.
aggressive couple decisions fact free good guys happy job last needed pushed run seven situation stayed staying throws
I thought our guys did a good job of staying aggressive the last couple of minutes. We probably didn't make as many good decisions as we needed to be making in that situation but, overall, when they made their run and got back in it, we stayed with it. We pushed it back out there and made some free throws at the end. I'm happy with the fact that we had only seven turnovers and the job we did on the boards.
aggressive attack felt knew
I didn't think we were aggressive enough offensively. We knew they were going to come with pressure, we felt like we should attack that pressure.
aggressive attacking ball knew needed
I didn't think we were aggressive enough. I didn't think we were attacking the ball like we needed to. We knew they were going to come with pressure.
care damage ended felt float gave guys high somebody tried
We tried to keep two guys down around the block. Every now and then we would float somebody into the high post. We felt like if we could take care of the ball, get it on the rim, that we could do some damage there. We ended with 17 of them (offensive rebounds) and that gave us 17 more opportunities.

It was about like getting ready for a trip to the dentist.
beginning effort finish game great inside knew season team tough
The whole team put in a great effort and our inside game was just great. Back in the beginning of the season ... I knew it was going to be a tough finish for us.
And they probably could have called about 50 more (fouls).
