They know we need to add some pieces to the puzzle, but I think they all feel good. We're still a ways away, but I think we have a good foundation of kids. We started in the hole so badly, but we're getting there. |
They missed open shots. They didn't shoot well at Kentucky and I think it carried over tonight. They just looked uncomfortable. Making shots is contagious, and missing shots is contagious. They missed a lot of shots tonight. |
They weren't really sure how they were going to play without Chuck Davis. I think they've figured it out now. |
They're a team that shoots the ball very well and can shoot the three from a variety of positions. |
They're all going to have to pick up the slack. We're just so limited, especially inside. |
They've lost a ton of close games. They've been a bit inconsistent. |
This is one of our better non-conference teams coming in. I thought when we scheduled this it would be one of our toughest home tests this year. |
This is the toughest team to prepare for because you don't know where it's going to come from. |
This was a big win the way we won it. We weren't on our best, but we battled to the end. Sometimes you have to do that, and with a young group I was proud they didn't fold and panic. |
This was a big win. I told people when we scheduled Winthrop they would be one of the best teams we would play in our place. They're used to winning, tough and will play anyone. And most people won't play them. I don't know why we did. |
Turnovers killed us. It's just very frustrating as a coach. We've stressed it, we've explained it, we've showed it. We have a slim margin for error and when we turn the ball over 23 times, you're not going to beat many people. |
Typical for the year we've had. |
We are doing 80 (percent) of things right and just can't finish the 20 percent - and that is putting the ball in the basket. It is frustrating for the kids but we have to go through this. It's a prerequisite for success down the road. |
We asked him to do a lot. He's a kid that's really matured before our eyes. For a team so young, we needed someone to do that. |
We battled to the end. We had a chance. We picked up the intensity level the last few minutes of the game and still had a chance to win. We had some good looks and missed some shots during that run, but our kids battled to the end. |
