We'll address it. Once we get it resolved, it will be over with just like any of our other issues, and we'll move forward. |
We've been down before at the half, so it wasn't a big deal to us. Five of our last six games we've had a chance to win and didn't have the desire to pull it out. We were a bunch of individuals, but tonight we came together and were able to pull out a win. |
We've been executing really well (the last five games). So hopefully we're getting things turned around at the right time. Like I told the kids, we're trying to peak for the tournament now. |
We've had that zone in for only four days. We wanted to stay in the zone and not get into a one-on-one situation with them. |
We've never made (playing on the road) a big deal, so it's never become an issue with the kids. There's no discussion about where we're playing. It's just a road game and we just go to practice and get ready to play. |
When we attacked their pressure we were fine. But 75 percent of the game, we let their press bother us. When we played around with their press, we got into our scoring area with 10 or 12 seconds left (on the 30-second shot clock) and we had to rush a shot. |
When we get the ball, we're not as efficient because we're tired and often take the first shot. We're playing into our opponents' hands. |
You hate to do this as a coach. But I felt it was absolutely necessary. |
You see the first five playing ... but the reason they're playing is the people in practice are pushing them hard. A lot of times it gets overlooked because all people see are points and rebounds on the stat sheet or in the newspaper. The practice players make us good. |
