bigger certain guards guys last number played players programs smaller three
We've always played three guards in certain instances over the years. A number of programs do that. Oftentimes, your smaller players are your better players. Last year, our bigger guys were our better players.
across bigger guards start taller
They're athletic. Their guards are bigger than our guards. They start a very big lineup. If you put them all across the board, they probably are taller than us.
bigger guy
There's never been a guy with a bigger heart, I'll tell you that.
asks continued family prayers respect support thanks
Our family thanks everyone for their support and prayers and asks for their continued respect and privacy.
confidence front line numbers
Our front line is an interesting group. I'm very comfortable with what they've been doing. I have a lot of confidence in them. They haven't put up a lot of numbers here, but I have confidence in them.
confidence continue continuing expected gaining guys people
Our whole thing has been to continue to improve. Not a lot was expected of these guys by people but they have been gaining confidence and we're continuing to improve.
backup constant expect guys happen minutes plays stepped transition year
Replacing guys has always been a constant in this program. Guys have always stepped up. Carl went from a backup to a guy who plays 30 minutes a game. That's the transition guys are going to have to make. I expect that to happen this year as well.
bring definitely helps talk
Recruits definitely talk about it. You bring them to a game, and they see the environment. It's good. It helps us a lot.
hitting zone
I thought we'd see a lot more zone than we did. It got down to our penetration and Carl hitting those 3s. Our penetration was good, especially when they went man-to-man.
beat coming free ground improve knew ways
I thought we just battled and ground out a victory. We beat them on the boards, which is a thing we knew we had to do coming into the game, and we beat them badly. We also had to get better at making free throws, and we need to improve defensively. We still have a long ways to go.
adversity foul good played shots throughout
I thought we battled, we played hard, we got through some adversity with the foul trouble. We made some shots at the end but we didn't make them consistently throughout the game. They're a good team, but we need to play better.
coming game knew playing team teams tough
I thought they were really a tough team and got after it. We knew that coming into the game and we know it now. It was two teams getting after it, playing aggressive.
I think we're all right with the injury.
ball court good guys passed played
I think we passed the ball well and got a lot of good performances from guys on the court and off the bench. I thought all of our guys played very well.
