bring chase curl good intensity job match men run team trying
We just had to match his intensity and bring a little more than he had. As much as we had to chase him off screens, he had to run off them, so he was getting tired. Our big men did a good job bumping him when he was trying to curl off them, and it was just a team effort.
Everything we have to give, we've done it in flashes. And now we have to put it all together. ... We haven't been consistent.

When it comes to basketball, it's not that hard. You gotta go out and play like you gotta play and listen to the coaching staff. You just have to go out and play hard, and we call that Spartan basketball.
