Disclosure - my notes are worst than usual, without the routine of home, we were running back and forth to catch the presser, and get the players, so more rushed that usual. This is the jist of what everyone said:
Tubby Smith:
• We didn't seem to have the focus that we should have had, obviously playing on the road against a team that's playing with some limited people. We had a full team of players, we had no excuses.
• NU does a good job in their 1-3-1
• We didn't play very smart, with one of the leading scorers and shooters in the leauge, Austin follows out. Bad decisions there. I put him in with 3 fouls, which was probably my fault, but I thought he was headier than that.
• I need to get more production out of Rodney Williams.
• We had a guy at the table after his 4th, I don't know what Austin was doing, I don't know why he'd go near the guy.
• I thought our effort was okay, we had a lot of good looks, but shot 29%, then we came back and shot only 39%
• Our shots didn't fall in the 2nd half
• Andre looked like he panicked, like he was scared, the fear of whatever it was, that's what I saw.
• Andre was 2-9, then he started passing up a couple when he was open. NU did a good job or running at him and flying at him.
• I think that we were playing from sideline to sideline, instead of attacking the basket.
• They get those passing lanes, and if you're not patient, and if you throw up quick shots or turn it over, it leads to easy baskets, it's demoralizing. You need to know when to go after it and when to trap.
• It's tough to simulate the 1-3-1 in practice, we obviously did a poor job of practicing it.
• NU is going to be scrappy, scratch and claw, and get you out of your game. There's no excuses, we tended to take ourselves out of the game with our attitude with "they're hitting me, or I'm being pushed."
• It's a case of leadership when you lose 3 in a row. I'm at a loss, I thought we had corrected some things. We've been turning the ball over. We haven't made the adjustments from a coaching stand point, and if we have, it hasn't carried over to the team.
• We had a lot of 2nd chance points. Right at the basket, that's disappointing, we talk about finishing at the
• Didn't think they gave up, attitude about complaining about something, pointing the finger. That's one of the things you have to deal with. You look at the ref, you look at the coach, that's the what losers do.
Austin Hollins:
(On not coming out on the 5th foul, and committing it) it was just a bad decision.
We just had too many turnovers and weren't attacking the basket, we were taking a lot of 3's
(On how they will come back) We just keep fighting, we know we're a better team than we showed tonight.
Trevor Mbakwe:
We couldn't attack the 1-3-1, that obviously gave us troubles
(On blaming each other, said they didn't though ) When things aren't going right, we hold each other to high standards, we're like brothers
I think they just focused on taking out the inside for me and Rodney
The way NU plays, they take the air out if the ball, like WI.
We had some good practices and felt good coming into this game.
2nd half, it was that 1-3-1 that got us
On Andre - it's the worst game he's played, it frustrated him, but he made some good shoots, he's hard worker, a good kid, and can have 20-30 against Wisconsin.
