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.
good hamilton improved last numbers player shoot step type
Hamilton is a big-time player who put up big numbers last year. He's had some injuries, but he can get it going at any time. He is very good around the basket. He can also step out and shoot it. I thought he was an all-league type player last year. And he's improved this year.
ball played player quicker run
Novak was more of a catch-and-shoot player when we played them in the tournament. Now he can put the ball on the floor. He can run the floor. He's agile, a quicker player. He's just a much better player.
good players team
I was a little disappointed with the rebounding, but they're a good team with some very, very good players in the middle.
confidence players playing
They have players everyone wanted. They'll be playing with a lot of emotion, and they'll have a lot of confidence for this game.

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.
