capable shoot
You know they're probably going to shoot 25 threes, and they're capable of making more than half.
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.
areas best games helped scoring shooting tough
That may have been one of Brad's best games because he helped out in areas other than scoring on a tough shooting night.
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.
against defense good percent shoots team time
Our defense was good. Any time a team shoots 32 percent against you, you feel pretty good about it.
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.
against almost call fun gun playing shoot spread team
I don't know if I would call it a wishbone more than I would call it that Fun 'n' Gun because they spread you out. They're going to shoot 25 threes. They make more threes than any team in the country. It's almost like playing against a no-huddle offense.
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.
ready trip
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).
