LaMarcus Aldridge
Our defense has done a great job the last couple of games. I think that has been a big difference from our play in the beginning of the season. That allowed us to go in and get some good buckets tonight, so we just kept pounding them in.

Overall, this team has gotten a lot better. Everybody has worked really hard. If some guys go down, we know that others will step up. All of our guys can play offense and defense.
|
That's our goal. We talk to them all the time, and they tell us to keep going and put it out on the line just like they did.
|
The two games in the tournament, I've been aggressive inside. If I get the ball and can't take it inside on a dribble, I can kick it back out.
|
They're, like, super long. I don't like giving him a high five after a good play because he ends up slapping me on my elbow.
|
This team is showing a lot more toughness down the stretch. I don't want to say those other games weren't as important. But we know the importance of everything right now. We know we have to fight for everything we get.
|
Those are shots I can make. They just didn't fall.
|
Those were still the same shots I normally take, but my shot wasn't falling. But in no way was this a bad season for us.
|
We can mix it up. We've got some inside guys and some shooters, but you know we're always gonna rebound. That's what we do.
|
We have to follow the game plan. The pressure starts to pick up when it gets late, and we tend to just stand around, so we have to have more movement and a better mind-set.
|
We need to figure this out soon.
|
We need to keep moving, set better screens, pass the ball more.
|
We still missed a couple we should have had. It's just wanting to get rebounds. It's a mentality.
|
We thought that might be a momentum shift for us.
|
We worked out everyday at SMU. We trained on the track in the morning, and then we worked in the gym at night.
