match tough
I think we match up better with Boise. That's why this was a tough one to lose.
defense easy good man post stuff until
I thought our post defense was good tonight. We didn't give them a whole lot of easy stuff until late. Overall, I thought it was a good man defense.
confidence game games gives hang offense ran run shoot stretch tried win worked
It gives you confidence that you can hang in games and come back and win them. Before, we tried to play a different game down the stretch on the road, run and shoot them out. (Last week) we ran our offense and worked it and did a much better job.
good
That was just a good old ass-kicking. We don't get those too often.
afraid team
That's the kind of team you're afraid of because you don't know which one will show up.
might road trip
That's the road trip you have to look back on and think what might be if we got one, or both, of them. We'd be right up there.
hit shots
Julian hit the shots and was really slashing without the ball, and was getting some inside-outside stuff.
interested
Nate was very interested in him, so he interviewed me about Bob.
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.
calling guys power scoring
Our power guys inside, I'm calling them floaters now because there's no power. We're not scoring in the paint.
coming gets gives good position top
Riley was one of our top gets with what he can do. He gives us firepower at that position with who we have coming back. He'll be a real good one for us.
blocks changes looking shot start
I think it changes a game. Like when Ahmet blocks a shot in the post, (the opponents) start hesitating and looking to see where he is.
becomes practice
It becomes a practice problem, too. We can't even do five-on-five anymore.
