No one thought we could even get this far. No one thought we could give Cal this much of a game. |
The game will be won on the defensive end. |
The play was for a ball screen for Aaron on top. |
They're also a very tough basketball team. They have some great inside players and a very good perimeter game. So we'll just execute the game plan as we've done these past couple of games. |
They're home, they going to make runs, and we were able to respond with big plays. We shot free throws well. We just did a much better job of executing our game. |
We didn't get too many great looks and then we got good looks and couldn't knock them down. That was a little bit of a loss of confidence, and a lot of things coming together. |
We have to play as hard as we possibly can. |
We were just going to keep fighting. Chamberlain did an excellent job of doing what he does best, shooting the ball. He carried us and put us over the top. |
We're right there to play with every team in the conference. We're talented enough, we fight hard enough. At the end of games, we don't play as smart as we need to and with as much poise and confidence, taking the game instead of handing it away. |
We've gotten better every game defensively. We're understanding basically what it takes on defense and we've gotten in a lot better shape. We know we need to run with our man, (and) work with our man. |
