assured certainly confidence lost sure
O' just made his shots. As I told him the other day, we certainly haven't lost confidence in him or anything. I wanted to make sure that he hadn't lost confidence in himself. He assured me that he hadn't.
certainly great guys happy hold moments played plays shaky
We had some great moments and we had some shaky moments. I'm certainly happy to have the win, and we had some guys that played well. Then when it got tight, we had enough big plays to hold them off.
certainly elevate great guys players teams time year
This is the time of year when the great players and the great teams elevate their play. We need all of our guys to elevate their play. He's certainly an important part of that.
almost certainly forget hope second
He can pretty much forget almost everything from one second to the next. I don't know if he did or not because he certainly knew. I hope he didn't.
assured certainly confidence good knock lost sure tonight
Nothing. I told 'O' the other day we certainly have not lost confidence in him. I wanted to make sure he hasn't lost confidence in himself, and he assured me he hadn't. Tonight he got some good looks, and he was able to knock them down.
looked
We just looked out of it. We looked out of it most of the night.
ball defense driving finally kindness near picked quarter start third waited
We just waited too long to start playing. We kind of just sleepwalked through 2 1/2 quarters. Then near the end of the third quarter we finally started getting aggressive. We started driving the ball and our defense picked up.
focus move talked
We just talked about it with the guys; we want to move up. That's what we'll keep our focus on now.
bad basketball concerned gave good half lack points quarter respect tough win
We just gave them 25 points off turnovers and it's tough to win when you do that. I'm concerned about this one good half, one bad half routine, one good quarter, one bad quarter that we've been in and just the carelessness with the ball. And, a lack of respect for the basketball out there was pretty amateurish.
free throw winning
We were probably one free throw away from winning the game. We weren't able to make it, and we weren't able to get (defensive) stops.
kirk team
I've said it many times, Kirk does so many things for our team that his shot-making is down the list.
man nice pressure shoot
It would be nice to have Darius because he is another big man who can shoot it. There's a lot of pressure on Malik because he's our only big who can shoot it outside.
fortunate nice somebody
It would be nice if we could play well and put somebody away. We were fortunate to get out of here with a win.
impressive season turned
The season was on the ropes for a while. And they turned it around, and did it in an impressive fashion.
