They have struggled on the defensive end. But they have a lot of offensive weapons. (Daniel) Horton is playing like people thought he could. He is going to get his points. If we can control Sims and (Graham) Brown inside, that will be the key to the game.

I blame myself a little bit because I've allowed them some freedom. I've tried to give them confidence. I haven't shut them down from shooting some of those shots. Maybe I should have done it earlier, but I was trying to get them feeling good about themselves.

We really struggled with getting off to great starts. As a coach, you almost don't want to, which sounds just crazy. But we have not dealt well with early leads. We're tentative, like we're playing on eggshells.

People are alarmed; we're alarmed.

They started doubting a little bit. I think that was a key to it.

We could go small and play James at the five and Warren Carter or Brian Randle at the four. There's all kinds of combinations. We might try something and it might not work and we'll have to go to another idea.
