00:00 I thought he was good in the second half.
00:02 I did not think his effort was where it needed to be in the first half.
00:05 But I thought the second half, he was really good for us.
00:08 >> Looking at the stats sheet, we were talking about it before you guys came in
00:13 here, there's not much that really stands out as far as being a huge separator.
00:17 And so with respect to the fact that you're playing the number 15 team in
00:20 the country in Wisconsin, does a lot of good things.
00:22 Like, this is a second straight loss, and I know it's tough to win in the league.
00:26 But what gives you confidence that this team has what it needs to not let this
00:30 spot?
00:31 >> Yeah, no, I have a high level belief in this team, I really do.
00:34 I'm being completely honest.
00:35 I have a high level belief in this team and what we're doing.
00:38 And the fact that we're gonna grow.
00:41 Last year is last year.
00:44 I've got, this is a different group.
00:46 The leadership is different, and it's early in the season.
00:51 And I think the challenge for us right now is to take this and
00:54 learn from it and grow.
00:55 We have to be tougher in certain areas.
00:57 We've got to be able to finish plays.
00:59 But I really got a high level belief in this group, and
01:03 I can't emphasize that enough.
01:05 Doesn't mean we're not gonna have some struggles.
01:07 But I really do think the challenge for us now as coaches and
01:13 players is to learn from this.
01:15 Take some of the positives that were real in this right now.
01:19 Feel the disappointment and
01:22 have that challenge us to be better in the areas that we need to be better.
01:26 We need to finish plays better.
01:27 We need to be able to obviously make our free throws.
01:29 We need to have the confidence to make open looks.
01:33 And I think we need to be able to rely on our defense to close games out better
01:38 than what we did.
01:39 So I'm confident in all those things and really confident in this group.
