defense energy ready run
We have to be ready on defense again. They like to run in transition, and they'll play with a lot more energy at home.
energy everybody hard mind practices
Even the practices are different ? you can see they have more energy here than they do on the road. Everything's more comfortable for everybody at home, so you come out and practice hard because your mind is not on other things.
energy guys home seems
Everything seems to come back when you're at home. The guys have been working hard. You can see they have more energy here.
believe came coming energy last road roses smell starting
We had so much energy the last two days, I couldn't believe we just came off the road trip. I said they're starting to smell the roses ? they feel the end coming here.
energy game kids
I don't know what you could do different. You got the same game plan, you got the same kids. It's an energy thing they have to do.
bench change energy games help struggled
If we do change it, Ahmet can give us a lot of energy off the bench. There have been some games where our bench has struggled to give us points, and I know Ahmet can help there.
amazing energy level rises win
You can see how much the energy level rises when you get a win like that. It's amazing how that works.
again showing talk tougher
We always talk about how much tougher things are on the road. Well, it's showing again right here.
hopefully hotel near pulled pulling
We're pulling out all the stops. It was right near the hotel when we pulled up so hopefully that was a sign.
attitude win
You have to be good, but you have to be lucky, too. And you have to believe. You have to go in with the attitude that you can win it.
attitude far improving passive past team teams themselves works
This team works better than other teams we've had in the past as far as improving themselves on the court, and the attitude is always positive. But this team has its own personality, and unfortunately, it's a passive one.
proven winning
You have to look at them first. They're proven and they've been winning on the road.
bit caught control freshmen game guys lost rest second thompson together
You had two freshmen (Hiram Thompson and Dominic Waters) in there together and we weren't able to rest some of the other guys and I think it caught up to us in the second half. I think we lost a little bit of control of the game right there at the end (of the first half).
five ready tough year
This year is going to be really tough because we have to get ready for five new teams, basically.
