ball cause changed good lack last played teams turned
We changed our lineup in the last game. We turned the ball over way too much. I think we've played good teams that cause turnovers, but we've started to lack in confidence.
entered expected game good shooter talked
We didn't know going into the game that he would play as well as he did. We talked about him being a good shooter when he entered the game, but who would have expected that from him?
good job kept might surprise telling
We did a good job of executing, offensively. I've kept telling this team, once we come together, we might be able to surprise some teams. But we still have a long way to go.
basketball game good minutes separated team
For 18, 19 minutes it was a really good basketball game (but) their team making 3s separated us.
advantage ball defense early good job offense took turned
We did not do a good job rebounding on offense and did not play good defense. We turned the ball over early and they took advantage of our mistakes.
basketball behind focused good inside scoring year
When we can go inside to Curtis, he's good at scoring with the basketball. I've really focused this year on our offense. We're a little behind on defense.
change good gotten night team
We're a team that's gotten off to a good start. But we've got to come to play every night, or things will change in a hurry.
affected allowed arkansas ball capable good inside job particular zone
I thought Arkansas did a good job of defending. I don't think it was one particular person. I think their zone affected us and allowed us not to get the ball inside to where we were capable of getting it.
carry football forward good gotten looking might needs rivalry
I think we will get support. I think it's not where it needs to be, but it's gotten better. We're looking forward to having a good crowd. I think the rivalry (with LSU) from football might carry over to basketball. It will take some time, and wins, but it's better than it has been in years.
backup challenged few games good helped knocking last lost minutes played playing point running shots state
He has really helped us and been a good backup point guard, but we have got to get him back playing well. I challenged him after the Mississippi State game. He has lost some of his aggressiveness. He was attacking, knocking down shots and running the team. The last few games he has not played as many minutes as we need him to play.
basketball catching defense easy focused good gotten improvement kids needs offense scoring
He's really good at catching and scoring with the basketball. I don't think we've gotten it to him enough; I would like our kids to find him a little more. He has made it easy for us, and I've really focused on our offense this year, which is why I think that our defense is what needs improvement now.
call phone sites sure water
We just make a phone call to the construction sites to make sure to water down the area.
built care passive press realized settled tough
We were passive in the first half, and they were aggressive. After they built their lead, we settled down and realized it is not as tough of a press if we take care of the ball.
came confidence easy great lacking missed shots
We missed some easy shots and had great opportunities and came up short. Obviously, we're lacking some confidence.
