In the first game, we kind of were a little passive. Tonight, I think we all understood that we couldn't go down two-love on our home court. So I think we came out with the intentions of playing defense for 48 minutes, and that's what we did.

I'm glad we got another game (tonight) and it's not in Memphis.

Their guards were kind of passive and really wanted Tucker to take over the game.

I think this team thrives in the half court, more than the first three or four years I was here, when our offense was in the open court, and we struggled in the half court. I think we can score in both situations.

The 14-game (streak) was different because we never talked about it, we just went out there and played. This is kind of the same. We are not talking about the win streak, but more focusing on trying to get better. We have gotten better, we have won games and hopefully we can continue to do that.

We'll use (this as) the marker for the next week or two but come Game 65, if we still haven't learned from that we're going to be way behind the eight ball.
