We have some really good young players. And they're coming and getting better everyday. The more guys you have producing the better your team is going to be. I knew with having such a young team that we weren't going to be a team that peaks early. We are still in a learning process and we are getting better. That's why I'm excited about this team down the stretch. Our group still has a lot of room for improvement. |
We knew he could shoot it. We talked about it before the game. We talked about it for the last three days. We just gave him wide open looks, and he can knock them down. |
We knew we didn't have guys who had averaged a lot of points at this level. We didn't have one player who had averaged double figures at this level. But you have to give the guys credit because their attitude and resiliency. Every day they come in trying to win games. |
We will have to have poise. You know they are going to be keyed up. You know they have their non-alcoholic champagne on ice. The place is sold out. It's going to be a great atmosphere. We want to have the approach that the pressure is on them. |
Whenever you face Southern, you are going to see the same thing. You are going to see physical defense and guys that believe they are going to win, no matter what the score is. |
Yes, we have to look at that in recruiting. We are having a problem at that position. At the beginning of the year, we felt we would know more about our team after we'd had them awhile. That's where we're at now. |
You have to give Southern credit. They guard very well. There was a stretch there where they were banging down 3s and our shots were going in and out. |
