coming game good knew lawrence obvious quite
It's very obvious that we're not quite as good without Lawrence Roberts. But we knew coming into this game that we didn't have him, so we can't make any excuse.
difficult hate leading obvious
I hate it for him. And it's made it more difficult for us. It's obvious he would've been our leading scorer. But some things, you can't help.
group guys lay obvious opportunity paper proud season supposed win
I don't know if I have ever been more proud of a group of guys. These guys have had every opportunity to lay down all season long. I think it's very obvious when you look on paper who was supposed to win this game.
best courts easy front good team
We're going to play a very good team that has one of the best front courts in this league. It won't be very easy for us.
beat cut work
We're beat up and awfully sick. We've got our work cut out for us.
difficult experience gains good leadership players providing
The pluses are that (Gordon) is a good player. He is going to be one of the better players in the league. If he gains more experience he will be really good, he has had some difficult times and has been providing good leadership as a freshman.
job resting
With this team, something is new every night. He got pretty fatigued. We got to do a better job of resting him.
challenge difficult home seem similar
We know Auburn is similar to us in a lot of ways. They're so much better at home than on the road. At home, they seem to be able to be in the game. We know it'll be a difficult challenge for us.
deficiency hard playing plugging
We're playing hard out there, and that is the thing you have to do when things aren't going your way. There are just some things that we have a deficiency in, and all we can do is keep plugging away and getting better in those areas.
guard hope point third
We hope we won't have to go to that third point guard (Slater) very often.
good magical speeches team
Our team is not very good right now. It's been one thing after another with us. There's no magical speeches after that game.
good job
Rod's done a good job with this team. They're much improved.
game needs opens versatile
Reggie needs to not always look for the 3-pointer. He's got to play off that dribble, take it to the hole, which he's done more lately. A mid-range game opens up the 3-point shot. It makes him a more versatile player. And he needs to be a screener, because screeners get open. But it's getting better.
chance degree example lawrence lead national naturally player step vocal
Lawrence has a chance to be the national player of the year, and with that comes another degree of responsibility. He's not naturally a vocal guy. He has to step up and become a vocal leader, and lead by example every day.
