It felt like we were sharp tonight. Our defensive pressure is where it needs to be for the tournament.
I've seen 17-year-old kids get rattled over things like this. But our spacing was better this time, and our defense was a lot better. We had pressure basketball and unselfish passing. We had 28 field goals and 22 assists.
We definitely want to use the whole court and pressure you full court. Basically, we want to pressure the ball. If we can do that for four quarters, we're going to get a four- or six-point run late in the game.
The number one thing he improved was his understanding to get people involved. He could have scored 30 points a game, but he passed up shots to get teammates the ball.
No excuses, but the first time we were relatively unhealthy. We didn't have a full squad, which is what we need to play the way we want to.
He held Peter Bunn to 17 points, which is an incredible feat, because Peter Bunn is something special. We focused all five guys on him and he still got 17.
