physical tougher
We've got to get more physical and tougher inside.
basketball double figures four good guys nine players three
We would like to have three or four players in double figures. Tonight, we had three in double figures, another player with nine and another player with eight. So we're getting there. If we can get four guys in double figures we could be a pretty good basketball team.
loss tough
This was a tough loss for us. It's very disappointing.
defensive five last minutes run stops
We got some defensive stops those last five minutes when they were making their run that were very important.
both building face good guys inside offensive players southern team
Let's face it, both of those guys inside are good players. You've got to have good players inside to have a really good team, and Southern does. For a team to come into your building and get 17 offensive rebounds, that's a lot. That's unacceptable.
close difficult everybody fell short six win
We really haven't had everybody together, so that's made it a little difficult at times. We thought we could win six games, but we fell a little short of that. Overall, though, we're pretty close to where we thought we would be at this point.
ball free game huge throws tough turn
That was a tough one, real tough. We had some costly turnovers at the end. I thought we pretty much had the game in hand. But they got those two free throws and then we turn the ball over. Those were huge plays.
came played second
That was the key. I thought we could put them away at the point. We came out and played really well in the second half.
good helped hung jump run stretch together
That was a good stretch for us. I thought we hung in and hung in, and then we were able to put together a run there that helped us jump out to a lead.
ball best defended games good minute shot trying tune
That was one of his best games as a Tiger. He defended really well, he shot the ball well and he made good decisions. I thought he was in tune with what we were trying to do every minute he was on the floor.
ahead expected further good jeremy progress
Jeremy has done a good job. He's about where we expected him to be at this point. He would probably be a little further ahead if not for the setbacks.
along anytime conference excellent fine good job seems
He's doing a fine job with that team. But I'm not surprised. I thought all along he would do a good job there because he's an excellent coach. Anytime you go to a new conference there are going to be adjustments. He seems to be making those adjustments well.
hard himself prepare
He was not working as hard as I thought he should have to prepare himself for the season.
below continue played playing
He's played below expectations at times, but he's also played well at times. I really like the way he's playing now, though. If he can continue to play like that, it would be big for us.
