00:00 >> A couple of tough games last week, both on the road.

00:03 What's maybe been the takeaway as a team from last week?

00:06 >> Just can't get down on ourselves.

00:08 Obviously, it's gonna be hard to win on the road, but

00:10 it's what we work out and practice for.

00:12 So we gotta keep going.

00:15 Can't be so endorsed in the outcome, obviously, we wanna win, but

00:19 we just gotta keep being better.

00:20 >> I know it was a loss, it didn't go the way you guys wanted it to.

00:23 But are there positives to take away from that,

00:25 whether it's having a lead early in the second half, or

00:27 the way you guys fought back in the first half?

00:29 >> Definitely, I feel like in all the games that we've lost,

00:33 we've been close, even in the second half.

00:35 So I'd say it was just tighten up little things that may have given the other team

00:40 a couple of points for the second half.

00:42 So just tighten up little things, I feel like put us in a good spot.

00:46 >> What's been the toughest adjustment for you personally since lead players started?

00:52 >> I would say it's not really an adjustment I have to make.

00:54 I'd say it's just being more, trying to maintain the same aggressiveness that I've

00:59 had in the beginning, just trying to keep on doing that.

01:02 But it hasn't really been an adjustment, I'm just trying to get back into my form.

01:06 >> Do you feel like the biggest difference has been as far as holding the turnovers,

01:11 the defensive end, and how important is it to get back to doing that a little bit more?

01:16 >> It's definitely important, I mean, I feel like that's our identity.

01:19 So we gotta make sure we're playing as hard as we can,

01:23 because we're forced to turn over this way, we gotta get out of the way.

01:26 So it's definitely harder now that we're in conference play,

01:28 because obviously a lot of teams could scout now and they know how to try and

01:31 counter it, but that's our identity, so we're just gonna keep on having to do it.

01:35 >> How do you flush a week like last week and make sure that that two losses

01:42 doesn't kind of avalanche into three, four, add up on you?

01:46 >> Well, we have a quick turnaround, so we have two games a week, so

01:49 we can't hang our heads on the last game.

01:51 So just being on to the next game mentality, really.

01:55 >> How much does it help getting to be back at home after the tough week?

01:58 >> It was a great feel, good to be on our home court, students are back, so

02:02 we know it's gonna be definitely a eventful game.

02:04 So it's definitely a good feel for sure.
