Sometimes we just can't get over the hump. Like I said, we're just going to come out to practice and play the type of game where we can just play defense and create offense.

It was a great challenge for me. I just tried to come out and play him as tough as I could. I was denying him the ball, and when he got the ball, I was pressuring him, trying to make him put it on the floor.

We struggle against teams that press us, as well as teams that play a zone and it just so happens that every team we have been playing on the road has been pressuring us.

They were just rotating the ball fast. They found a wide-open man and they were knocking down a lot of shots.

We shoot an awful amount of free throws and we try to simulate pressure in practice. When the game?s on the line, we can put it in.

We're a much more experienced team than we have been in the past. We started practice March 1. Over the last month and a half, we've got in enough practice so we won't be embarrassed.
