guard
We haven't been really pretty all year. When you guard like we've been able to guard, it's not too pretty.
beat defensive good guarded team third week
We beat a very good team tonight, and we did it by guarding. They guarded us well, too. These are two good defensive teams, for the third week of November.
guards guys phenomenal wilt
When Wilt played, there weren't a lot of guys his size. Now you've got guards that are 6-7 or 6-8. For (Bryant) to do that is a phenomenal feat.
best either guarded hard jeff minutes played plus secret stop
Jeff played all 40 minutes plus guarded their best player. He got going, and it was hard for them to stop him just like it was hard for us to stop Vincent. I don't think there was any kind of secret on either side.
best guard hard parker seen shoot
Jabari Parker is one of the best, if not the best, I've seen on tape. He's so hard to guard. You've got to guard from 23 feet. He can shoot it, or he can go one-on-one from there. He can post. He's so fast and long.
difference guards iowa starting three
Our three starting guards got outscored (by Iowa State's guards) 48-29. If you look at assists-to-turnovers, which has a lot to do with guard play...that was probably the difference in the game.
defense games good guard last nearly ourselves road whatever
For whatever reason, on the road our defense has not been nearly as good as it's been at home. We're going to have to get back to that because we're really going to have to guard these last two games to give ourselves a chance.
break capable days deal difficult game guard guards guys handled handling later lost sudden
This is a very difficult game to all of a sudden break in guard play, especially with the guards that they have. We just lost an outstanding player, and two days later we've got to deal with this. I thought we handled it as well as our guys are capable of handling it right now.
feet good grown guard power
I do think that's why Bru has a lot of good footwork today. He had guard footwork, and now he's kind of grown into those feet and become a power forward.
center dominated favor position
We just got dominated on the glass. I thought the center position was really in favor of them.
faith jeff might putting warm
We might play him 5 or 6 minutes, then take him out. Yet Jeff might say that makes it tight, and it's better if he can keep it warm and go. We're putting our faith in him to let us know. . .
aspects financial
We try to take the financial aspects out of the injury,
expected seen today zone
We expected to see zone today - we hadn't seen zone in two weeks.
energy focus minutes
We are two minutes after the game. My whole focus and energy haven't changed. I put everything into this.
