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.
