00:00 >> Hey, B, have you had a, I mean, can you put your finger on just what's

00:05 going on with you guys on the defensive end?

00:08 I mean, just after that last game, you guys gave up 90 and

00:12 then tonight as well, like that first half,

00:15 kinda led to the second half too.

00:19 >> I would say we gotta start making teams feel us as far as our pressure,

00:27 our intensity, the same way they do to us.

00:31 They push our catches out, make us start our offense out of court.

00:35 And we're allowing them to catch it in their operational areas,

00:38 let them feel way too comfortable.

00:40 So we gotta stick up our intensity, and

00:45 then also, you gotta take pride, you wanna stop somebody or not.

00:49 >> Was there any one part of tonight defensively that gave you guys a problem?

00:57 Was it Eddie down low or Hadley?

01:01 >> Excuse my language, it was all fucked up.

01:10 >> How much did you guys focus on ball movement?

01:14 Cuz it seemed like it was early on in the game, you guys were really forcing,

01:17 two or three passes before a shot gets up.

01:19 Was that kind of a point of emphasis coming into this night?

01:22 >> We wanna play that every night.

01:23 We wanna move the ball, keep energy in the ball,

01:27 passing the ball connects the whole team.

01:30 And then also, plan for the mismatch.

01:33 But the main thing is we gotta start buckling down and

01:39 playing some defense and getting some stops.

01:41 If not, we're not gonna be anybody giving up 90 points every game.

01:44 >> Do you feel it's on you to take this bull by the horn and

01:49 just make things happen, not only on the court but off the court?

01:55 >> I mean, I'm the team leader.

02:00 I gotta step it up some and try to inspire the whole team to continue to step it up too.

02:06 If I'm not doing my part, how can I allow someone else to do their part?

02:10 So I gotta take it up a notch and try to bring my teammates along with me.

02:18 This is all I got left as far as college.

02:20 So I gotta try to squeeze everything I can out of this and

02:25 continue to beat up on my teammates, continue to try to push them as well as

02:30 they're pushing me.

02:31 So we gotta continue to come together, keep buying into what our coaches are doing.

02:37 And this game is over, move on.

02:41 We got another game coming up and we gotta fight for that one.
