aware ball block free game knocked late mental mistakes throws
When you don?t block out on free throws and have the ball knocked away from you late in the game, it?s tough. You have to be aware of who is around you. We made too many mental mistakes late in the game to win.
free key
Two key things. We didn't make threes and we didn't make the free throws. If we had made some of those, we could have had a different outcome.
beat early finish free question team teams throws
Our team can play with anybody. The question is, can we beat anybody? Other teams are going to make runs. We have to finish plays, make free throws and do the other things we were doing early in the season.
defense free good hard job road three win
Hard to win on the road when it's 33-to-9 at the line. Hard to win when you think you do a good job on defense and they end up with three free throws.

He's always been one of our best free throw shooters. What he has is a very solid routine that he sticks to and is very consistent.
basket free pushed rebounds situations supposed throw tired underneath
I'm tired of free throw situations where we're supposed to be getting those rebounds and we're getting pushed underneath the basket and we're not getting them. And a lot of times he's the culprit. It just isn't acceptable.
chance free gave rebounds situations six throw tired
I?m tired of free throw situations where we?re not getting the rebound. And he?s been a culprit. But in fairness, he had six rebounds today. I gave him one more chance and he responded.
missing needs reluctant steven worry
There are a lot of things Steven can do, but he's reluctant to do them in games. He needs to not worry about missing shots.

To average 34 points in a Chicago public school league, which has great competition, speaks highly of his ability.
confident consistent guy late spot stretch terms
We just haven't had the consistent play at that spot and it's been something that's hindered us, especially late in the game, in terms of having a guy who is comfortable and confident down the stretch to make plays.
carry clearly confidence defensive job momentum offensive plays shown
We've clearly shown that we're a lot better making defensive and offensive plays down the stretch. We're doing a much better job now. That confidence and momentum should carry us.
fighting fights-and-fighting guys honors tough
Those two guys are fighting for MVP honors right now. It's a tough combination.
few identified late players
We identified a few players late and we really feel like we got the player we wanted.
expect player veteran
Very possible. We'll see what happens. But I do expect him to be more of a veteran player than a rookie.
