both freshmen glad help options sean seventh shooting sixth
Sean can help us with his shooting and Cyrus with his rebounding, and both can do other things. I'm just glad our freshmen can be our fifth, sixth or seventh options and not our first or second.
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.
came clock five great players seconds shot six time top
The thing that got them over the top was Rondo's penetration. Time after time, where the shot clock was winding down with five or six seconds to go, he came up with the play. That's what great players do.
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.
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.
ability average chicago great highly points public school speaks
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.
bit ferguson guard key match players
We need to get Ferguson going a little bit more. That will be a big key for us because he defensively can match up and guard some players on their team.
conference focused good practice practiced
You can tell it's Southeastern Conference time. For our first day of practice this week, we were focused and we practiced very hard. We had good camaraderie.
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.
