• 0:00
  talk about talk about your shooting
• 0:01
  today and uh and just kind of what you
• 0:03
  said out in the back.
• 0:03
  >> U just trying to stay aggressive. Um
• 0:07
  >> we weren't making shots in the first
• 0:08
  half, so just trying to stay consistent
• 0:09
  in my approach and shots fell.
• 0:12
  >> Hod credited you for your defense on
• 0:14
  Hubbert, but as a team, I know that was
• 0:16
  just such a huge priority for you guys.
• 0:18
  He's only two of eight from three in
• 0:20
  this game. What do you think y'all did
• 0:21
  better as compared to the first game?
• 0:22
  man, attention to detail, but I think
• 0:23
  our urgency to get things done was
• 0:26
  better knowing what was going on. Like,
• 0:29
  we had the game plan last time. I don't
• 0:31
  think we executed it with urgency and
• 0:33
  with intention. It was just like the
• 0:34
  game plan was going to happen for
• 0:35
  itself. So, this game is a little bit
• 0:37
  more intentive and that was a result.
• 0:39
  >> We were talking to you way back when you
• 0:41
  committed and you talked about you felt
• 0:44
  like you had more to show than what you
• 0:46
  did in Texas Tech. Those last few games,
• 0:48
  you've done it all season. the last few
• 0:49
  games you've been a tear.
• 0:51
  >> Is there a little bit of gratification
• 0:53
  in that? You're obviously trying to win
• 0:54
  games as well, but how does it feel kind
• 0:56
  of showing what you can do offensively?
• 0:58
  >> Um, man, I think my role on this team
• 1:01
  has went way past me scoring. Um, I
• 1:06
  think this was a place for me to show
• 1:08
  more and I was able to do that. Maybe
• 1:10
  not. It didn't show in the wins, but no
• 1:13
  individual performance feels good in any
• 1:15
  of these games without the win. So, I
• 1:17
  haven't even seen it like that. I just
• 1:18
  been trying to get the win. So, yeah,
• 1:19
  this one feels a little bit more a
• 1:21
  little bit more satisfying, but the rest
• 1:22
  of them just another game.
• 1:24
  >> How do you take this now? You know, you
• 1:25
  try you need to try to win one, two, you
• 1:27
  got to make a run. How do you take this
• 1:29
  and keep the momentum going until
• 1:31
  tomorrow?
• 1:31
  >> Um, just trying to keep for me keeping
• 1:34
  everybody engaged, understanding um only
• 1:36
  a few of us have been in this position
• 1:38
  before. So, just trying to keep us all
• 1:40
  on the same page and keep the same
• 1:41
  approach like I said. And we understand
• 1:43
  this is a step up. It's Tennessee. Uh
• 1:45
  different front court, um less back
• 1:47
  court, still a great back court, so got
• 1:48
  to be locked in. But
• 1:51
  >> we understand we're going into tomorrow,
• 1:52
  so got to keep the same approach and get
• 1:54
  off our legs today.
• 1:57
  Does
• 1:57
  >> it feel a little bit like how much of a
• 1:59
  reset button does it feel like? Like you
• 2:01
  said, you played in conference
• 2:02
  tournaments before. Is it is it almost
• 2:04
  you can just look past what happened at
• 2:06
  the end of the regular season and and
• 2:08
  try to start something new in the
• 2:09
  tournament?
• 2:09
  >> Yeah. Um, I think the approach changed,
• 2:11
  especially for me, telling them like
• 2:13
  it's a new season and you got to put
• 2:15
  that behind you. It's not you're not
• 2:16
  going to get it back. It can't affect
• 2:17
  your postseason. It's not going to
• 2:18
  affect anything up until this point. So,
• 2:20
  a new approach and just an opportunity
• 2:22
  to sh We lost to some games and we lost
• 2:25
  some teams or we lost to some teams and
• 2:27
  this is our opportunity to get those
• 2:28
  give backs and we did. Yeah, good
• 2:30
  approach.
