Huskies head coach shares thoughts on changes needed against Utah.
Transcript
00:00 >> Or I mean, at least, it is your thing and you know it so well.
00:06 >> We've talked about it, the staff, we're gonna do what we feel is best for us to win.
00:12 We've invested so much in the man and we've had great moments.
00:17 It's just, it's getting over the hump.
00:18 Anytime you play a lot of different defenses,
00:23 it means that you're not really good at one of them.
00:27 Started out with a little 22 tonight, which is a little pressure,
00:30 just to kind of take some time off the clock.
00:33 But it was just putting a bandaid on something that needed surgery.
00:39 >> Moses is shooting the ball more.
00:42 Is that just him getting more comfortable?
00:44 Just the way the games are going or a concerted effort just to get more shots?
00:50 >> We're trying to.
00:51 I mean, he only took seven shots tonight.
00:52 I wish he got 15.
00:56 The one thing that Moses I think can do better, he can pump fake and
01:00 put the ball on the floor and maybe have a pull up or get a chance to get fouled.
01:05 He's such a good offensive player, offensive threat.
01:12 The more shots we can get him, the better for sure.
01:17 >> Yeah, I think he'd get the 15 shots.
01:19 How do you get him 15 shots a game?
01:20 >> God, you gotta use him as a screener.
01:22 You gotta move him around.
01:25 It also depends on how other teams guard him.
01:28 That's one of the reasons why we're getting the lobs, because Braxton put so
01:31 much pressure on the rim that no one's tagging because they're not leaving Moses.
01:35 So that's where those guys work kind of hand in hand.
01:40 But yeah.
01:44 >> After Saturday, it's the midpoint in the conference season.
01:50 Are you talking with the guys about that?
01:54 Like, hey, if we're gonna do anything, it kind of needs to-
01:57 >> Yeah, we haven't had one of these games this year.
02:02 This one was, it just wasn't our night and it was their night.
02:07 They played well, we played probably our seed game.
02:11 That happens.
02:13 There wasn't a happy face in that locker room, I think.
02:17 This team has to get ready, has to bounce back.
02:19 Utah's coming off after a loss tonight at Washington State.
02:24 You just gotta get to the next game.
02:25 There's everything's of how you respond in life.
02:33 And we'll be ready.
02:38 >> Using your analogy of there's no surgery for the defensive foes,
02:42 I guess, what is the ailment?
02:44 >> Right now, we're gambling.
02:49 We're not disciplined enough in staying just disciplined in our coverages.
02:57 And when you start to gamble and you start to reach,
03:00 you're only as good as the group, only as strong as your weakest link.
03:06 If one guy gambles, breaks down everything.
03:08 At the end of the half, even when we were in the zone,
03:12 we did a really good job of defending the initial play.
03:15 And then we broke down, they got in and they kicked it out for a three.
03:20 To end the half, that wasn't good.
03:22 So just too many little breakdowns that are all adding up.
