For us to come in against a far bigger team and dominate the glass, I am very satisfied. |
He did his job, and we didn't have anyone else to step up and hit shots. |
He did well over the winter. For me, personally, he's a horse they all have to beat. |
It's great that we're being competitive, but at some point we have to start winning these games. In two years we've closed the gap, but a loss is a loss. There are no moral victories anymore. |
The first seven or eight minutes, we dug ourselves a hole. We called a timeout and went to a man-to-man defense and did a much better job than in the zone. We settled down and started to hit some shots. |
They allowed it to be physical, and that's just the way it is. |
They were doing a great job of taking away our drives to the basket. We had wide open looks which were really good shots. It was just something they decided they were going to take a chance on giving up, and they got away with it. |
We are virtually playing with no post presence on either end of the floor, and every game we have still been right there. Considering what we are and where we are coming from, we are doing a great job. |
We did a good job defending and a good job rebounding the ball, but we just had a lot of shots that went halfway down and out. |
We have a very small margin of error. We have to work on the things we can control, and we can control poor foul shooting. |
We hit a few key shots and they started guarding us outside, so we went to the rim. We need to be able to balance shots from outside and take it to the rim. |
We played really well from beginning to end. We hung in early, and then in the second half we increased our pressure and cruised coming down the stretch. |
You play with the guys you have. There are certain things we won't be able to do well, and post offense is one of them. That's why we don't get really easy baskets on the inside. We have to work hard for the points we do score, and we just will have to do things a little differently. |
You take away that poor start, and we played really well the rest of the way through. We have to start early. |
