defending position putting score
We're not defending like we usually do. It's putting us in a position where we all have to score the ball, because we're not getting stops. We're not defending at all. That's been our motto. That's our identity. We defend, and we get stops.
start stay sure work
We work and work and work at it. Eventually, it will start going our way. You can't just not take shots. There's no way we'll win. We'll stay with it, and I'm pretty sure it will start going down for us.
feeling good grow happy huge next nice performing ready starting
We're so used to going in there and being rowdy and feeling good after wins. But we're starting to get used to performing well on the road. We're starting to grow up. It's nice to see. We were still happy about the win, because it's a huge win. We have to refocus and get ready for the next big game.

We're growing up. We're not going into the locker room all rowdy. It's like, we've got to move forward to the next game.

We just have to do a better job defensively. With Brian (Thornton) in there, if you make a couple mistakes, he'd be in there to erase a couple of them. Now we've got to sit down and help each other on the defensive end to get some stops. That's why the game was so close.
game mode single win
We're in the mode where it's like one game at a time. You have to win every single one of them. What are you going to do, quit? You have to keep working and fighting.
brian brings everybody guy level losing scrap step
We can't play like (we did), especially when you're losing a guy like Brian who brings so much to the table. You really have to scrap and claw for everything. Everybody had to step up and play a whole different level of energy, and we just didn't have it.
brian couple defense erase job mistakes sit
We have to do a better job defensively. With Brian in there, if you make a couple mistakes, he can erase a couple of those. We have to really sit down on defense and get a couple stops. We were scoring, but we weren't getting stops. We have to buckle down on that.

We have a chance to win the tournament just like anybody else. We have to take advantage of it. We haven't done anything yet.

We came in with all the confidence in the world we could get this thing done.
attribute came defensive fire flat lack offensive pop
We just came out with a lack of energy. We didn't have that pop that we usually do on the defensive end and on the offensive end. I don't know what to attribute it to. We can't come out flat like that. We have to come out with that fire from the get-go.
came forget guys helped needed separate team together
It was hard. But we needed that to come together. We were kind of splintered a little bit, and we were going away from the team thing. Guys were going in separate directions. Getting up at 6 a.m., guys could be like, 'Aw, forget this.' But we really came together and helped each other.
