Coach (Sean) Miller really stresses that and it becomes more of a mental thing once you hear it you know and hear it so much. It becomes almost like a natural instinct. |
I guess we didn't come out mentally ready. Coaches told us about it, and we started talking to each other about it. We came out and made a change and did better. It's disappointing. But we encouraged each other to do better in the areas where we weren't doing that well. |
I just tried to play to the best of my ability. You have to be physical with a strong guy like that. I went out there and did my best. |
I'm just worried about the people we have right now. We have to deal with what we have and keep working hard and keeping the same focus we have every practice. |
It definitely helps a lot. Any time you go through something the second time around, you're going to have more knowledge about it and more experience. |
It is huge. Another win provides more motivation. We'll keep going. |
It just goes to show what kind of team we are. We've gone through some struggles, but none of us have quit. It's starting to really pay off now. |
It's a lack of concentration. It's not that we don't know how to do it, because we work on it all the time in practice. We just didn't concentrate enough in that area, and we didn't do our best (job) in that area. |
It's definitely possible. We'll do what we always do. Work hard in practice and stay together. We're not going to quit. We're going to keep working. |
Just having the team togetherness. Everybody has to be a part of it - every single guy. When we're together, we know we're all we have. |
Lot of change, I guess. I think we're doing a pretty good job of handling it. Nobody around here is going to quit. We're just playing together and we'll keep moving forward. |
We knew he could shoot the 3. We were late sometimes getting out to contest the shot. He knocked it down, so I give him credit for making good shots. |
We struggled. But we've just got to keep going. |
We've been talking to each other about staying together and not breaking down. We're really all we have. We have to stay together, and everybody is committed to doing it. ... Nobody likes losing, but when we do stay together and we all make that collective effort to keep encouraging each other, that's when we're at our best. |
Yeah, we struggled. We have to keep doing what we're doing. We have to keep taking open shots. We just have to keep working. |
