care college guys healthy leave nobody playing quite seen six stepped wants
Quite frankly, I don't care if we had six guys who could have stepped in, when Matt's playing like that, you leave him on the floor. They're college kids. I've never seen a guy who's healthy who wants to sit. And when the ball's going down and you're playing well, nobody wants to come out.
absence difference playing
From our standpoint, and how we've been playing of late, I don't think (Adams' absence is) going to make that much of a difference anyway.
extremely none playing team
None whatsoever. They are a completely different team that's playing extremely well.
certain compete defend figuring guys playing team urgency
We're playing better. Certain guys are figuring out that you have to defend with a sense of urgency and you have to compete with a sense of urgency. It's a different team out there.
good played playing start time
We probably played as well as we have to date. We're playing better, we're getting there, and it's a good time to start doing that.
difference playing
How we've been playing as of late, I don't think it's going to make that big a difference anyway.
basketball far few games last lose lost players playing sight
The last few games I thought we've been playing better basketball. I didn't want our players to be down or lose sight of how far we've come just because they lost the other night.
hostile impressed missouri physical seen
We're going into one of the more hostile environments we've seen all year. I'm impressed with Missouri State's team, with how physical they play.
early open shots stretch taking
Early on we had a lot of open shots and they just weren't falling. Again, we're not taking anything away from Cal. Their athleticism allows them to stretch you defensively, but we had a lot of things going for us offensively early on and shots just weren't going down.
across found half late sunday travel virginia
Virginia found out on Sunday they had to travel all the way across the country. I think they got a little fatigued late in the first half and then late in the game.
bottom dwell line talk
We don't talk about that. The bottom line is I don't dwell on those things.
hostile played
We played in one of the more hostile environments, so, yes, we played with toughness. We were in the game.
came courageous gave matt practice week
I thought Matt was very courageous today. He didn't practice all week and he didn't participate in shoot-around for more than 15 minutes, but he came in and gave us a lift.
against played
We haven't played well against quick, athletic, tough, defensive-minded teams.
