area best convert four gets guy help keeping offensive provide sure three
We're going to try our best to provide as much help to the guy guarding him on that area of the floor. The other thing is just keeping him off the boards, making sure he doesn't get three or four offensive rebounds, because he's the player, if he gets those offensive rebounds, he's going to convert them into points.
almost clients companies dates dealing external happen interface markets money numbers personal provide putting screen social wants
A lot of broking in money markets is screen trading, where you're putting numbers into a computer. That can't happen with us. There are too many external factors, like dates changing. It is a personal business. You provide the social interface between companies and clients - you're dealing with people's emotions. You need to have a feel for what someone wants to do. It's almost like delving into their psychology.
attention boot commitment determine figure gets loose needs start till trying
It gets everybody's attention when you get up at 5 a.m.. We'll keep doing that till we get a commitment to get on the floor, to get loose balls, to do the things we need to. ... We have to figure out where we stand. I'm not trying to have a boot camp. For us at Xavier right now, we have to determine who needs to start and who needs to play minutes.
although couple guys open ourselves position second shots wide
I thought in the second half, we put ourselves in the position to win, but a couple guys couldn't make a shot. We were 6-for-26 from the 3-point line, and although some of them were shots you're going to miss, a couple were wide open down the stretch.
attention ball beat beating commitment couple eight guys hard hour loose nine separate sheer team time turn until ways
It always get everybody's attention when you get up at 5:15 and have to get taped and then go (practice) for an hour and a half. We'll keep doing that until we get a commitment to get after loose balls. We're a team that's going to have to beat you with sheer numbers. We need eight or nine guys getting after it. When we have a couple guys going their own separate ways and we turn the ball over and not get after rebounds, we'll have a hard time beating anybody.
looking team
Looking at his development, he could really make our team much different down the stretch.
against few good guy knock percentage recently
Recently against us, if you're that guy that can't make a 3, you usually knock a few down. It was good to see that percentage come our way.
ball hard nine pass practices shore shown team terrific word
I would use the word alarming. We're a team that practices very well and hard, and we pass the ball well, and we've shown we can rebound. Through nine games, we all have to take a hard look at what we need to do to shore that up. If we could shore that up, we'd have a terrific team.
came couple guys ready surprised
Guys came in with a lot of energy. I was surprised with a couple players. They came ready to battle.
diminish figure guy keeps played second terrific
He's going to have to figure out what keeps him from getting 21 in the second half, too. In no way does that diminish his game. I thought he played a terrific game. He only had one turnover and especially in the first half, I thought he was the difference-maker. But man, when you see a guy play like that, everyone wonders, can we get that in the second half, too?
ball brian goes good great keys miss moving offense pace quick quicker run seems slow
One of the keys to us is sometimes we have some great baskets and have a real good pace to how we play on offense, and then it seems to slow down. When the offense goes into one of those droughts, we're not moving it up the floor. Not necessarily quick shooting, but just the pace. We're always better when we have a quicker pace. ... Brian (Thornton) being able to run, and Brandon Cole or Will (Caudle) being able to run when Brian's out. ... Make or miss on their end, we want to be able to get the ball up the court.
brian choices easiest himself jobs next open player presence shoot step teams town work
One of the easiest jobs you have in this town right now is under the eight-minute mark, being a perimeter player on our team. You're going to get an open shot, and you're going to have to step in, because Brian Thornton has established himself as such a presence that teams are going to make choices to take him out of it. As they do, we're at that next step - 'You're going to shoot it.' So that's what we have to work through.
family
He embarrassed our university, our program, his family and himself.
bit room
We're going to have to do that (rebounding) more collectively. We were like that anyway, but we had a little bit more room for error.
