bit game offensive
We got back in the game and then short-circuited a little bit with some offensive fouls. We battled them all the way to the end. We just couldn't make the plays.
bit came habitual looked third tough
We came out well tonight. Unfortunately, they came out better in the third quarter. We looked a little bit dazed and confused, which has been a habitual thing for us this season. When you let them get going, they're tough to handle.
beginning best bit came efforts game guys quarter quickly season third tune
It was one of our best all-around efforts this season from beginning to end. The guys were in tune with the game plan. We came out in the third quarter a little bit off, but we quickly re-grouped.
almost bad bit feeling three
We'll take the win, but you end up almost feeling a little bit bad about it. They outplayed us for three quarters, handily,
ball bit came good played selection shot
We did what we had to do. We came out and played with energy, I thought we had good ball movement. Our shot selection was excellent, and I think they were a little bit off.
afternoon bit meeting morning odd ready time
That's what's a little bit odd about this, that it's back-to-back afternoon games. I don't know what time we'll get in, but we'll get up in the morning and have a breakfast-type meeting and get ready to go again.
bit game
That game had a little bit of everything. It was a hard-fought win.
believe bit guys knowing shocking
A little bit over 4 percent. But knowing the guys like I know 'em, it would be shocking to me if they didn't believe in themselves.
aware ben bit periods shots trying work
Now it's a little bit different. Without Ben making some shots during periods of the game, we wouldn't even have had a chance. All I can say is he is aware of it, and he's trying to work on it.
again amount bit fight gotten happened last obvious team
This is a different team than last season. It's obvious that it is. I mean, we haven't had the same amount of fight that we had before. Unfortunately, too many times, when things have gotten a little bit tough, we've rolled over. It happened again tonight.
ball bit fight game last plays
This was a game that had a little bit of everything. I thought we showed a lot of fight and we made plays when we had to. They also made plays. Fortunately we had the ball for the last shot.
bit dominated early energy game guards third
They just dominated us all over the floor, and then probably the most disappointing thing -- I thought in the third quarter, we quit. That's something I have to address. ... We were in the game a little bit early on, but they had way more energy than us. They went by our guards at will.
bit either game moment ourselves plays sharp stay team turned
I didn't think either team was especially sharp tonight, to put it mildly. It was anybody's game for the taking. They turned it up a little bit and we weren't able to make any big plays to stay with them, we could have at any moment exerted ourselves we could have come back, we just couldn't do it.
allow belief bit blame blaming endorse factors simple system
I can't allow us to be blaming other factors for the way that we play. There's a very simple thing to do under those situations, and that's play better. We've done that a little bit too much this year: blame the refs, blame other situations, and that's not a belief system that I can endorse n ever.
