They were a lot more giddy last year. They're all business today.
I felt like we really didn't execute the way we needed to. There were silly turnovers. We didn't do a very good job defensively.
They have a really good combination and a good feel for each other, so when one of them catches high, the other one slides into the post. They're constantly looking for each other now. It's the best zone offense we've ever run since I've been here.
We've been trying to keep our rotation extended throughout the tournament. You tend to tighten up at this time of year. This year, I've worked hard on that part of coaching, to trust some of my bench guys.
I haven't pursued anything. I've been happy with my situation at Hartford.
I wasn't thinking about it. It was unexpected. I'm flattered. It's nice to feel that appreciated.
Our defense gave up 22 points with that three, so I don't think the kids were worried about it at all. They hadn't played as well as they could have, so I liked how they came out in the first five minutes of the second half. That set the tone for the rest of the game.
Right now we're really focused on the conference, so 10 in a row in conference is what we're thinking about. Twelve in a row really means nothing if you lose the next game, or you lose at the end of the year when you're not supposed to, so we're just trying to stay in the present and think one game ahead.
I was hoping they would win, so it would be undefeated vs. undefeated. It's still a huge game. It's going to be about our kids being ready to go. They're a tough team and they give us problems on their home court.
