basic expect few floor run
We just expect a few basic things. We need him to defend, rebound, run the floor -- same things we've always needed. He's got to be able to find a way to get that done for us.
both ends floor game good played plays
We have played better at the end of the games. We have tended to make some pretty good plays on both ends of the floor when the game is on the line.
ball floor main stay ways
We have to find other ways to use Tyson. The main thing is he has to find ways to stay on the floor by not fouling. We've got to get him the ball and ... let him do some different things.
floor good moved obviously shooter
He is obviously a good shooter and moved down the floor well and scored in the post. I like the way he has played.
floor movement sharp stumbling
Our movement around the floor was not as sharp as it has been. We did a lot of stumbling around out there tonight.
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.
