deciding games guys inspirational licking mail mostly played sound time whether wounds year
At this time of the year - I know it doesn't sound very inspirational - but mostly rest. We played 27 games and guys are hurt. It's mostly just licking your wounds and deciding whether you're going to mail it in or go compete.
chance harder
This one is much harder to take because we had a chance to win.
against concerned defend finding game good half hit inside job nine poor six teams win
We did a poor job of finding their shooters. We were concerned about their inside game, and they hit six of nine three-pointers in the first half and really the game was over. You're just not going to win against good teams if you can't defend them.
certainly good hump
I thought if we could get over the hump confidence-wise, we could have a good season. I thought we could certainly have a good record.
best catching david far second
David had an exceptional second half. As far as catching and shooting, this is the best he's been (since his injury).
ball best catching driving far hard looked pulling
That's the best he's looked offensively, no doubt, as far as catching the ball and shooting, and driving hard and pulling up.
frame game gets mind win
It's frustrating for him. But I think it's important for our guys' frame of mind to win a game before he gets back. And then I think they'll feel much better when he does come back. But it's been a struggle.
admit anybody coach fact hard help week
It's hard for a coach to ever admit something is positive, but I think it does help because they play differently than anybody else. The fact that we're going through a lot of the things we just went through a week ago is helpful.
defensive lost
That's where we lost the game, on the defensive end.
figure points score
You score 10 points in a half, and you figure you're out of it.
bit good hit
I think they were just a little bit too good for us. They hit three-point shots, they scored in the post, they got rebounds.
practicing status sure
He's been practicing and he's in school, but I'm not sure what his status is going to be.
cox four gave guys help helps left shoot talked three
We talked about the guys who could shoot threes, but we left them to help on other people. We gave Cox four wide-open looks, and he made three of them. That really helps someone come back.
position press smaller took
We took him out because we were in a position where we had to press and use smaller guys.
