ball hole minutes missed scoring shots
We've got to have (Murphy) put the ball in the hole to have some success. We went about 12 minutes without scoring in the first half. We missed a lot of shots we have to make.
games people
I think he's had an up and down season. Some games he's really going after people and then there are some games when he's kind of faded.
game hit hurts jamming open post start teams
When his jumpers aren't going in, then it really hurts our inside-outside game because teams start jamming and converging on the post players. So he's going to have to hit the open shots. He's going to have to make the big baskets. And he has to come through for us.
game
We are going to make a game ugly. We are not going to let you play and do what you want to do.
players playing starting
We're starting to do some things but we can't let up. It's a do-or-die situation, so the players are playing with a sense of urgency.
defend happy hard hold nick teams
We're going to play hard and we're going to defend you. We were happy to hold Nick to 14 points, which not many teams are going to be able to do because he's a big-time player.
fortunate free hard possibly prayed throw
We were fortunate to win. We prayed as hard as we possibly could for a made free throw or something.
team
They have a lot of weapons. The thing I like about this team is they are very poised.
They are right there with those guys, if not better. We have a lot of weapons. What I like about them is they keep their poise.
anybody best close cooking far game hopefully mean oven somebody starts turn
Rashid Cann is our best defender, I mean by far. There isn't anybody even close as far as an on-the-ball defender. I do know that when somebody starts cooking that I have to put Rashid in the game to hopefully turn the oven off.
