against mix near obviously people stuff successful sure teams yards
Obviously with the yards and stuff he's done this year, not too many teams have been successful against him. I think you have to mix it up on him and make sure you have people near him all the time.
agendas aside best good hard job personal putting successful teams
The teams that do the best job of putting personal agendas aside are the successful teams. It's not easy. That's why it's hard being a good teammate, but everyone has that choice.
choose front good pressure prove rather sort target teams
Teams will always feel some sort of pressure. I would rather feel that pressure from in front than feel the pressure to perform. We like having a target on our backs. That way you choose to prove if you are good enough.
cincinnati everybody game ideally jersey locker playing room teams wants wearing win
Everybody in that locker room wearing a Cincinnati jersey wants to win. There's not a lot of teams still playing now, not a lot of teams still practicing. It's not ideally where we want to be, but if we play our game the way we should, we can win the NIT.
handle jerry jimmy somebody successful teams wants winning
You get some successful teams that don't handle winning well. Somebody wants more credit. Jerry and Jimmy couldn't get along, and they were winning.
chance court easy games guard hard honestly played point points pressure putting rely run starting stop teams watched
To me it's like starting all over, ... If you've watched any of the games I've played at the point guard position, it's honestly hard for other teams to stop it, because I'm putting pressure on guys. We don't always have to come down and rely on getting points off a set offense. We get a chance to run up and down the court and get a lot of easy baskets.
coming forcing frustrated game hard point seemed shots teams tough work
I was frustrated in the game because it seemed that teams were forcing me to work so hard for shots coming off the perimeter, ... It got to a point where we started off having to take too many long shots, too many tough shots.
best coming glass played relentless state teams wheels
We played even with one of the best teams in the state for 16 minutes. But (Arlington) is just relentless on the glass and just slaughtered us on the boards. That's when the wheels started coming off.
decided eight games last points seven special teams year
We had eight games last year that were decided by seven points or less, and every one of those games had a special teams play that was significant in the outcome.
advantage against ball chances good great playing teams throw took turned
We thought we had chances to get back into the game. We turned the ball over here and there, and they did what great teams do - they took advantage of it. When you are playing against a good team like (Detroit), you have to take advantage of the opportunities and you can't throw the ball away.
basketball chance players teams understand
Most of the time, when we play, the other teams have better athletes, but our players understand if we go out and play fundamental basketball we have a chance to win.
ball both gave points pressure running teams
We got a lot of those points out of our defense. We put a little pressure on them. We scored 22 points but we gave up 19. So both teams were running the ball pretty well.
affects drop guilty negative respond run separate teams
We kind of separate when teams go at us. Recently, when teams go on a run at us, we don't respond to it. We drop our heads, and it affects us in a negative way. We're all guilty of it. We splinter apart.
offense special spend teams time
We spend just as much time on special teams as we do offense and defense. That can make a difference.
