00:00 - Yeah, Nate, we didn't see Nick Pringle tonight.
00:02 What's his status with the team?
00:03 - He's currently suspended.
00:07 He's gotta decide whether or not
00:10 he wants to be a part of this program or not
00:12 with some of his decisions and how he conducts himself.
00:16 Nothing bad off the court or anything like that,
00:19 just in practice, in games, and we'll see where he goes.
00:23 We'll meet when I get back.
00:26 - Charlie.
00:26 (silence)
00:29 - We'll keep going.
00:32 Steve, last one.
00:33 - Hey, coach.
00:36 I wanted to ask about just in general
00:38 how your team is playing.
00:39 You went through January with one loss,
00:41 and what is that next step you'd like to see
00:43 out of your team now that you move into February, coach?
00:46 - We're gonna put 40 minutes together
00:48 on both sides of the ball.
00:49 We have yet to do it in January.
00:51 So it's great that we've been able to figure out
00:53 how to win some games.
00:55 In January, not playing particularly well.
00:58 We've yet to play well on both sides of the ball
01:00 for 40 minutes.
01:02 Auburn, we were super intense,
01:03 and defense was a lot better.
01:05 Offense wasn't very good.
01:07 LSU, our offense looked great.
01:09 One of the best offenses in the country that night.
01:12 I think we were 1.42 on offense.
01:14 Our defense wasn't very good.
01:15 Tonight, our offense was great in the second half,
01:18 and we scored 58 in the second half.
01:20 It was awful in the first half.
01:22 And to be honest with you, our defense was just okay.
01:24 We picked both sides up in the second half.
01:26 So we've got to get to,
01:28 if we're gonna win a championship,
01:29 you've got to get to a point where you play 40 minutes
01:32 on both sides of the ball.
01:33 Not perfect.
01:34 You may turn it over some, you may miss shots,
01:38 but your effort, your execution's gotta be
01:41 there for 40 minutes.
01:42 And we haven't seen it yet.
01:43 So we're gonna keep pushing and prodding
01:45 and encouraging when you see great stuff,
01:48 and coaching them.
01:51 We called some guys out for some toughness effort
01:55 at the half, and they responded.
01:57 And Rylan kind of said after the game,
01:59 like, "Look, guys, we're not playing tough."
02:02 Like, coach called us out, we responded.
02:04 We need that sometimes.
02:05 So I thought, you know, some of our guys
02:08 showed a lot of toughness tonight in the second half.
02:10 Let's not get down 16 before we show some toughness.
02:15 - Thank you, coach.
02:16 - All right, thanks, guys.
02:17 (upbeat music)
