active defense field game goals obviously second win won
To win a game where we only make 12 field goals in the second half, obviously our defense is good. I thought we were very active and it won the game for us.
closed downs few fought games group guys last obviously presented season speaks ups vacation whenever
We've had our ups and downs obviously this season. But the way they closed the season speaks to what kind of group of guys this is. We had many opportunities to not be as sharp, let the last few games go by and go on vacation (today). Whenever that (possibility) presented itself, the guys fought their way out of it.
battle biggest clarity huge next obviously possible season time week
We know we're in a battle right now. This is obviously a huge week. It's possible there could be a little more clarity by this time next week. This is the biggest week of our season right here.
field game goals nice obviously rhythm running
We had a nice rhythm going. We just started fouling. We had about 10 more field goals at the half, yet it was still a game. Usually you are running away with a game like that. It is obviously a big problem.
games left obviously
They obviously still have the advantage. They have two games left in their building.
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.
again cold defense field game goals good needed obviously second sort tonight win
Our defense was good again tonight and we needed it. We sort of went cold in the second half. We went 12-for-42 in the second half. To win a game when you only make 12 field goals in the second half, obviously our defense was good.
again amount broke excellent games gone good grief happy himself last obviously played sure three tortured
I'm happy for Tyson. I'm sure a good amount of grief he's gone through has been self-imposed. He's kind of tortured himself for some of the games he hasn't played well in. He's really broke out the last three games and he was obviously excellent again 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.
