bit fast floor lost push spots transition trying work
We've lost our transition game, we've got to get that back and the fast break. We're working on trying to get out and get down the floor a little bit better and work on our break. We have to find our spots and push it.
pick spots
We have to play our game. We'll pick our spots to run, but we can't run-and-gun. That's their style.
cling fatigue helping instead man playing team tendency
When that fatigue hits, you have a tendency to cling to your man instead of helping and playing team defense.
forward games home left looking needs regular road seven team wants win
We have only seven games left in the regular season, and we can't keep looking forward only to the home games. This team needs to win on the road if it wants to get recognized.
chance game last pace win
You just want to have a chance to win the game at the end. So we want the game to be at the same pace as the last time.
against matter nevada realized saw struggled team wins woke
Wins are always OK, no matter what they look like. I realized that when I woke up (yesterday) and saw that Nevada struggled the same way we did against a team from that same conference.
You know he'll be watching, so we have to look good.
beat effort full guys hard matter team time
We can't just show up and think we're going to win. We're having a hard time with guys out and all that, but so are they. No matter who's out there, we're the kind of team that has to give full effort or we can get beat by anybody.
came couple dropped fire hit last locker room run shots
We came out of the locker room with a little fire, but it didn't last very long. Kemp hit a couple of shots on us when we were making a run and we dropped our heads.
hit shots
Julian hit the shots and was really slashing without the ball, and was getting some inside-outside stuff.
four looks might slip split start three win
I said at the start of the season, win them all at home, split on the road, and you're going to be there. And it looks like four (losses) could do it, three (losses) might slip in.
beginning four looking losses realistic three win year
I said at the beginning of the year that you could have three or four losses and still win the league. That's looking more realistic now.
caught exactly likes matt shot strong took
We got exactly what we wanted. Julian likes that shot that he took and Matt caught it and was a little strong on it.
good
That was just a good old ass-kicking. We don't get those too often.
