We can struggle with our shot selection in settling for too many jump shots so this team needs to create more opportunities off the break.
This team will get better as guys stop waiting around for jump shots and instead being aggressive with the ball.
They love to shoot 3s and we knew what they were going to. But we had to play man, and that did allow for some back-cuts, but we knew we had to play man-to-man against them and really apply pressure the whole game.
We don't take anyone for granted. We just pressured a little more. Listen, we knew it was going to be a dog fight and Barlow was going to be hungry. There's always that revenge factor when you play a team again after getting beaten by a lot.
I think he's one of the best (players in the conference). He took it to the hole after we tried to spread the floor out for him and allowed him to try and make a shot.
This is a big win for us, especially coming on the road. We're trying to get back into the SWC race.
One of my assistants suggested it, and it became one of our themes at halftime that we have to make some shots against their zone if we were going to keep the lead and win.
We have gotten off to slow starts in a lot of our games and you can't keep doing that and expect to win so we tried to pressure up on them and play good defense to get out of here with a win.
I am very thankful to get out of here with a win tonight and thank god for the roll this team is on right now.
I don't know the number of offensive rebounds they had, but you can't give up as many as we did and expect to beat a team as good as Kolbe.
