If Bobby doesn't come out and knock down three or four early shots and take the pressure off, we start to rush. I think it's going to come, but it is a little frustrating right now.

The thing is, when you have an inside game you have a greater tendency to draw fouls and contact. Honestly, we don't have an inside game. We don't have back-to-the-basket guys. Our '5' guys are really '3s' and '4s' and I've converted them because you have to play somewhere inside of 10 feet. It may not be fair to them, but that's the situation that we're in.

No question, these guys work hard every day in practice. They understand how I operate and how I work. Not at all do I question their work ethic. I just think we need to play a little smarter. And we've got to finish.

We're not going to blow teams out. I say that to these guys all the time. The only way it's going to happen is if everybody's clicking. I think defensively, it's going to keep us in the game. We've just got to work to get other people going.

I think defensively we work hard. We play well. We keep just about everybody under 50 points. That's been a staple. It's always going to be there.

That has been our focus all year and now we're starting to feel comfortable playing defense. We have to keep turning it up. I think the difference is that we're trusting each other more than we did at the beginning of the season.
