00:00 and they give us one back there to try to be in another one possession situation
00:04 after that side out situation.
00:05 They not stepped up and knocking down. They kicked our butts on the board.
00:10 That's two times we've gotten beat on the board, frustrated with that. I think
00:14 that's something we should be doing to other people. They kicked our tails and
00:18 I'm not pleased with that. I didn't think we played our best basketball.
00:23 I'm disappointed that we have found a way to win the game. One or two
00:26 possession game there at the end. We found a way to win. I would have been
00:29 happy, proud that we found a way. I still slept here and told you I'm
00:34 disappointed in how we put how we
00:35 I think
00:38 we've
00:40 some reason we've had better attitude approach effort than we all year than
00:46 we've had today. I'm not sure why.
00:49 So
00:52 back back back to it. Uh, we don't have time to dwell. I'm frustrated. I'm
00:58 sure our players are long time as well. This is this leak. Gotta respond. You
01:03 have to get right back to work and well, so we're not going to dwell on it and
01:07 get through this press conference. Go watch the tape. Um, try to get ready for
01:12 a game that's coming around here about 48 hours.
01:14 Is this a game where it's good to have one like that?
01:18 Don't develop whatsoever.
01:21 I don't know. I just I know that, you know, circumstances are the
01:27 circumstances in this league. You don't have time to put your head down and
01:31 how you better figure out how to learn, grow and get ready for the next game.
01:36 The quick turnaround against their second third team in the country
01:41 wherever they are. Uh, we got to do that quickly.
01:44 Defensively really good early. Um, was it just a matter of Oklahoma getting a
01:50 little getting a better look and time to kind of work through what you were
01:54 trying to do to take him out of the game? I thought there was some
01:58 opportunities defensively. Um, you know, we finished plays that we're keeping
02:03 in the first additionally guard the first part of the shot clock. Guard
02:08 their initial action. Well, we might make a play and there's a loose ball.
02:12 We don't get it. I might not get it.
02:13 That that that that was throughout the course of the game. We might be in a
02:18 one on one closeout situation.
02:20 So is now
02:24 um, there's a lot of things defensively. It wasn't all bad. There's good
02:28 defensive possessions, but we didn't sustain them and we didn't finish him
02:32 well.
02:32 Get through that
02:35 second to last segment. You make a run at him. But what kind of went sideways
02:40 at the beginning of that final segment where you three and it went back to
02:45 seven?
02:45 Second to last four minutes. So you closed it. The 8 to 4. You closed it
02:51 and then you came out of the under four. I think they took it from your
02:54 pullback to seven. But what short circuit is there?
02:58 Shoot, you know, I remember every possession based on the exact time. But
03:04 I mean, I'm remembering accurately. Um,
03:08 we remember accurately. I might have it backwards, but give up.
03:14 You know, we have a blown coverage in the ball screen. I think we give up
03:19 an offensive rebound all over.
03:21 I don't do it. I thought we got a couple good shots at a time out down
03:27 the stretch. Go in. Uh, free throw shooting a little bit frustrating, but
03:31 you have to give me about specific two or three possessions.
03:34 There's no accessory.
03:39 Okay.
03:44 No.
03:44 Thought I was trying to call time.
03:50 It wasn't. I was cheering, cheering, begging my team. Try to get this man's
03:55 play defense.
03:56 John, you see different.
04:02 Is the first
04:05 uh,
04:13 my team.
04:14 I think you're saying, like for the team, for me.
04:18 Your question. Uh,
04:22 not really sure. I just, you know, just being aggressive, taking advantage of
04:28 opportunities. My teammates find me in the right places.
04:31 Um,
04:32 yeah, that's pretty much all it is.
04:37 Been trying to turn over under control over these past four games. Only eight
04:42 today. So
04:43 you build a positive room. Sure. I look down. It's all a pleased. The numbers
04:50 lower than it's been. Still a couple. Unfortunately, we had a couple shots
04:55 around the basket transition.
04:56 They're like turnovers. You know, when you go try to challenge those three
05:02 guys, you just don't know if that's what creates the same scenarios.
05:07 So we've got to continue to make better decisions on the drive. But, uh, yes,
05:11 what we're this team is not a turn of the front teams and see some of the
05:15 turnovers last
05:16 characteristic. I expect this to be a nice job.
05:20 All these go down kind of hard on play the second half.
05:26 Doing okay after the game.
05:28 Yeah, I didn't mention anything to me. I haven't had a big
05:35 hit.
05:35 So it seems like we make really probably
05:42 with all
05:44 those.
05:47 Yeah, you know, wasn't the best performance. We had a lot of guys that
05:52 don't think had the best night.
