00:00 >> I think it's playing three games, you get a lot of different looks.
00:03 And I think we made some adjustments and they did themselves in the game.
00:07 I thought we were much better defensively in the second half than we were in
00:11 the first half.
00:11 So I think in every game you play, you got an opportunity to get better or
00:15 ignore the simple things and not get better.
00:18 And I happen to think that our team will not ignore the simple things and
00:22 they'll try to do a better job and get better as we go along.
00:24 That's experience.
00:25 I don't think they're pressing, you just gotta make better decisions.
00:28 The first two turnovers the first half, we just dribbled the ball and lost it.
00:33 And so I think it's part of the growing pains, but
00:36 at the same time that sounds like an excuse and they've gotta grow up quickly.
00:40 We can't keep doing that and saying, well, they're freshmen.
00:43 It doesn't make any difference because it counts in the loss column and
00:47 you can't have seven turnovers with two guys around your point guard spot.
00:51 One, well, I did, I liked that part of it.
00:54 We started playing better.
00:55 We're more attentive to detail on the defensive end of the floor.
00:58 First half, there were three times that a guy got the ball outside the three point
01:01 line and drove it all the way to the basket and laid it up.
01:04 And so we didn't allow those kind of things in the second half like we did in
01:08 the first half.
01:09 But I did like the fact that we kept playing and kept playing and
01:14 made some shots and except for three misses, we made free throws.
01:17 But we had three misses in the last two, three,
01:21 two and a half, three minutes of the game.
01:24 So we've gotta learn that you gotta step up there,
01:27 make those free throws at crunch time.
01:29 The easiest way to come back on people is get the best shots you can get.
01:32 Don't turn it over and make your free throws.
01:34 And we need to do a better job at all three.
