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.
physical tougher
We've got to get more physical and tougher inside.
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.
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.
came game gone helped plays tonight win
We don't give out a game ball, but if I had tonight it probably would've gone to Hilton. I thought he was outstanding. He came in and made some big plays that helped us win the game.
basketball game good knew played proving radar waiting
Trey played off the radar tonight. We've been waiting for a game like that from him. We knew we had it in him. He's proving to the world he's a pretty good basketball player.
defense good job score
We need him to score for us, but we also look for him to play good defense in the post. He's experienced, and he's got those long arms, so he does a pretty good job in there.
breakfast ready routine
We'll probably go through the same routine we did for that game. We'll get up about 6, have breakfast at 7 and then get ready to play.
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.
ball easy forced played pressure
We played much better defensively. We put more pressure on the ball and forced a lot of turnovers. That enabled us to get some easy baskets.
game hope hungry learn lost perhaps win
We really lost the game in the first half. We were perhaps still celebrating from our win the other night. I don't know if we were hungry enough. We play better when we're hungry. I hope we can learn something from this game. It could be a wake-up call.
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.
