Transcript
- 0:00was just sitting here talking about the
- 0:01need to to guard better one-on-one just
- 0:04talking about the entire team
- 0:05particularly in the back court. I mean,
- 0:07just what do you make of of that
- 0:08challenge from him? I guess what was the
- 0:10difficulty with that today against
- 0:11Georgia's guards?
- 0:12>> Yeah. Um,
- 0:15I think it's just goes back to our
- 0:16details. Um, giving guys too much based
- 0:20on their personnel or the scatter
- 0:22report, which I think is it's just hard.
- 0:24Changing defenses is difficult just
- 0:26having to stay on top of that. But
- 0:30there's still no excuse to give up
- 0:31straight line drive. But I think I told
- 0:33the guys it starts with me. Um even
- 0:36start the game. I started the party of
- 0:37just letting guys go even their opposite
- 0:39hand giving them straight line. So um I
- 0:42think we're okay. I think it's it's more
- 0:45just on us and just simpling down things
- 0:49for us so that we can guard. I would say
- 0:52yeah.
- 0:54Okay.
- 0:56that final sequence to to tie it up.
- 0:58Just, you know,
- 0:59>> what did it say about this team and to
- 1:01be able to get into overtime? You know,
- 1:03you're down four with a second left.
- 1:05Most of the time you just kind of play
- 1:07it out. What does that say about this
- 1:08team?
- 1:09>> Um, man, I think this is the first time
- 1:10that we actually showed ourselves that
- 1:13if you just keep playing, which is I
- 1:14feel like that's something I try to
- 1:15bring to this school is just letting
- 1:16guys know if you keep playing, you'll be
- 1:18okay no matter the score. But it shows
- 1:20that we have fight. Um, definitely gives
- 1:22me hope that we have a chance to do
- 1:24something special and I mean that was
- 1:26the result. Obviously didn't go our way
- 1:28but it shows fight for sure.
- 1:32>> Anything else for KO? Yeah.
- 1:33>> How tough was it for you guys to come
- 1:35down to high and then fill it pretty
- 1:37quickly there over time [clears throat]
- 1:38kind of having grinded out like that?
- 1:40>> Um, I think just that for me personally
- 1:43the front court uh excuse me back court
- 1:45connection that I have with him kind of
- 1:46makes it hard cuz he's just not there.
- 1:48He wasn't in the game so like it was
- 1:49just me. So, I kind of just tried to be
- 1:51as aggressive as I could. Um,
- 1:54clearly missed some plays. I think I
- 1:56went pivot to play. Um, I missed Keshan
- 1:59Hall on the swing. I think that's the
- 2:00play that honors me the most. But,
- 2:03I think we were okay. I don't think he
- 2:05made the difference in the game. I'm not
- 2:06going to say, okay, H went out, so we
- 2:08should have lost or won, but I think
- 2:10that we were balanced and we still had a
- 2:12chance.
- 2:15>> You all plus 15 on the boards. I mean,
- 2:17you had seven. Everybody was trying to
- 2:18rebound. How big was that? Because
- 2:20that's been a question at times in some
- 2:21of these bigger games this season for
- 2:23rebounding.
- 2:24>> Yeah, I don't think rebounding is a
- 2:25problem with this team. I think we
- 2:26played again um we played what three
- 2:29number on's and whoever else we played.
- 2:31So, I think the
- 2:33just knowing what it looks like in terms
- 2:35of of rebounding and the attention to
- 2:38detail each play to rebound is there.
- 2:40So, I'm not really worried about
- 2:41rebounding with this team. Yeah.
