areas continue definitely game improve improvement night ready
Every game in this league, as you know in any league, that night you've got to be ready to play. We've got to continue to improve. There are areas we definitely can improve in.
ball daniel game nights percent shoot shot
Daniel will be fine. There's going to be nights you're not going to shoot the ball well. We still shot 50 percent for the game and scored 90 points.
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.
night shooting tough
We had a tough night shooting the ball.
five free game good great job might night shooting throw worst
This might be the worst game he's had shooting 3s, but he did a great job at the free throw line. With those five assists, it was a real good night for him.
bottom daniel defensive excellent line might nights offense
There might be nights where the offense isn't there. The bottom line is, Daniel has really been excellent on the defensive end.
missed night obviously situation taller
I think it was a situation on this night that (Tech) missed a lot of shots. We were obviously taller and longer, so we could get those rebounds.
definitely great night perspective
He was a little jumpy the other night, and we got him for it. He had a great response. He definitely had a different perspective on things.
difference goes night
He is the difference in this team. We know he is going to give us everything he?s got, and he does every night he goes out there.
good night shooting
I look at it, and we didn't have a good night shooting the ball, but we still scored 82 points. There really were some good things.
best bounce game lost night spent time
I didn't know how P.J. would react. What he went through the other night was tough. We spent a lot of time to tell him he could bounce back. I told him the best thing would be to get lost in the game defensively and thought he was really good.
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.
anybody changed seen themselves
I've never seen anybody who changed themselves around the way P.J. did.
players pride seen
I've never seen players take so much pride in their schoolwork.
