Grant Nelson made two 3 point shots and gave Tide a big lift

Transcript

00:00 Yeah, you've been looking to get Grant going from three and he drills those two there.

00:04 But they, so much of a confidence boost, do you think that can be for him?

00:07 >> Huge, we needed it.

00:08 We needed him to start making some threes at the five for us.

00:10 We played him a few minutes at the four tonight, most of the minutes at the five.

00:15 So he probably played 20 plus minutes at the five.

00:18 And if he can draw moments fives out away from the perimeter,

00:22 it helps our offense even more.

00:25 >> You get the feeling that the returners in the second half,

00:27 both teams were a little sloppy during the first half.

00:31 And then you were able to still get the steals and the pressure in the second half.

00:35 I don't know what went into the offense running a little bit smoother in

00:37 the second half.

00:38 >> Yeah, I think we just had to settle down.

00:40 The guys make or miss shots, let's just get good shots.

00:43 I thought us missing shots made us press a little more.

00:47 I thought we were turning down open threes.

00:49 I said that early in the second half at a time out.

00:52 The guys were not going to win this game if we start turning down open threes.

00:56 I guess I would play every open three you get taken,

00:59 we just gotta go get the old boards.

01:00 They'll eventually drop in the second half when it helps you 50% from three.

01:05 We made six home after only making two in the first half.

01:07 And we'd like to make more than eight, but we can win multiple ways.

01:14 We have won before where we haven't shot the three well.

01:18 You can't not shoot well and get killed on the boards and

01:23 not win like the free throws and turnovers.

01:25 You gotta win.

01:26 We didn't win the rebounds, we ended up shooting it well in the second half.

01:33 We didn't, second half, outside of Mo, we hit all our free throws,

01:37 all our guards that got the line, Grant, 100% of the line.

01:40 So you gotta get to the line, convert at the line, turn them over a little bit,

01:44 take care of the ball.

01:45 You'd still win a game without.
