across biggest great size starting talented team veterans wrapped
They have depth, size and shooting. All those things wrapped into one is a great starting point. The biggest thing is they're veterans across the board, and probably the most talented team across the board.
against great guys job size
We'll be going against a lot of size and those guys will have to do a great job for us.
clock sure
I just wanted to make sure they started the clock on time.
difficult loss numerous replace
His loss is very difficult to replace in numerous ways.
across anybody center guard point short
He's the X-factor across the board. He can play with anybody in our rotation, and he can play from the two to the five, and even point guard or center in short minutes.
extra hard loose possession stealing sure team
When I say to our team to make sure everyone's on their A-game, it's really to be focused, and do the hard things. It's really about stealing a possession here or there because you're on that loose ball, or making sure we don't give that extra turnover because we need that extra possession that we didn't get with a rebound.
capability defense focus game huge last level locked ours played
We didn't feel like we played defense to our level of capability in our last game and it was a huge focus of ours to come out and do that tonight. We really locked down when we had to.
aggressive careful courts foul free terms
When you're on other people's courts sometimes, you have to be more careful in how aggressive you are. We got in foul trouble. I wouldn't say it was called any differently in terms of style. I would say they had a lot more free throws, though.
capable chance clearly conference contend extremely favorites good hot looking played start teams whatever
For whatever reason, they haven't played as well as they did at the start of the year. In December, I thought they were clearly one of the favorites in the league, and that hasn't changed. They're an extremely talented, capable opponent, and one of those teams that is looking to get hot and have as good a chance as any to contend in the conference championship.
came credit defense effort focus good guys huge last level playing
I give our guys a lot of credit for playing to this level after the last game. We came in with a huge focus on defense and rebounding, and we had a good effort there.
focal games maybe number point seen target
He's had games where he can show what he can do, but because of injuries, he's been the number one target of every defense. That's why I would say maybe we haven't seen what he can really do when he's not the focal point for every defense.
shots success taking took
I think we kind of got away from some of the things that we had success from when those shots started going in. I think we took some shots we haven't been taking as much and making some turnovers.
deep good great handle hurts kinds knew particular reasons team
I think that's one of the reasons they're as good as they are is they have great depth. Sure, it hurts them not having him out there, but we knew they were a team in particular that was deep enough to handle those kinds of problems.
clutch program tremendous veteran
He's been through a lot in this program and he has tremendous veteran leadership. He's always been a clutch guy.
