0:01
can you
0:05
record coach with they were up I think
0:08
it was 38 with with seven minutes to
0:10
play I mean how much do you look at
0:12
everything that you guys are doing
0:13
scheme the whole thing when when the
0:16
margin is that big when you're playing
0:17
an unranked teame well again it was
0:19
beyond schemes I mean I thought they
0:22
came out at the very beginning and they
0:25
punched us and we didn't respond and it
0:28
didn't get better throughout the ball
0:30
game and as a coach I got to get this
0:35
team more ready to go and I'm talking
0:38
about from beginning to end and you know
0:40
and I look at the stat sheet offensively
0:43
we just we had nothing from a perimeter
0:46
standpoint and they had a lot to do with
0:48
that because of their physicality and
0:51
and we can't complain and not play
0:54
through it you know we just got to get a
0:56
little tougher and you know you go nine
0:58
for 4 with your perimeter play is going
1:01
to be tough to beat anybody in college
1:04
basketball Mike I guess Mike I recognize
1:07
it's it's probably easier from a
1:09
perspective when you've watched the film
1:10
but that 9 Minute stretch where it goes
1:13
from a Sixpoint deficit to a 26o deficit
1:16
from a coach's perspective do you have
1:17
any feel for just kind of what what
1:19
opens the floodgates on you guys there
1:21
in terms of maybe the way you're playing
1:22
or what you're not executing well again
1:24
defensively you know it's kind of always
1:27
been our signature and and we just
1:30
didn't have it tonight I mean from from
1:33
ball screens to ball
1:36
movement uh we just took nothing away
1:39
and we've been pretty good in those
1:41
areas and tonight we we had nothing for
1:45
Louisville so I got to give them credit
1:47
because they played extremely well uh
1:49
and we got to somehow go back and
1:51
regroup I mean that's that's the nature
1:54
of playing college
1:56
basketball you get your butt beat like
1:59
this I hope you learn but don't have a
2:01
quick turnaround it's it's I mean you do
2:05
have a quick turnaround I we play the
2:08
winner between Gonzaga and West Virginia
2:10
tomorrow and we got to see what we may
2:13
up see if we can rebound and bounce back
2:16
M K yeah coach rice carv and Galloway
2:20
combined for three points how is that
2:22
how did that happen again it's just not
2:25
those two I I just mentioned we went 9
2:27
for 43 with our par play and that's
2:30
tough to you know to overcome I mean
2:33
you're not going to beat anybody that
2:34
way and then you compound it with 23
2:37
turnovers something that's probably more
2:39
turnovers that we've had since I've been
2:42
here as a coach and you know that's
2:45
tough you know I mean you're not you
2:47
going to not going to be very many teams
2:49
turning it over 23 times and the
2:51
perimeter play and go nine for 43 so
2:54
those are things that are fixable we got
2:56
to just clean them up and see if we can
2:58
rebound tomorrow
3:00
Jack coach how how do you tell your team
3:04
to kind of put this you know game behind
3:06
you and move on to the next one like
3:07
this well it's it's tough you know these
3:09
are young men and um I get it but you
3:13
know the games are not going anywhere I
3:16
mean we got a game tomorrow night and
3:19
you know we got to go back and put him
3:22
for his film session and and see if we
3:25
can learn from it and see if I can get
3:28
him over the and back going again for
3:31
tomorrow night you know because these
3:32
games come so quickly and and uh you
3:35
can't run from it so um I'm not going to
3:39
let us forget this game I mean because
3:40
this was embarrassing and uh and you got
3:44
to give Louisville credit because they
3:46
played their butts off but we didn't
3:48
play Indiana basketball I didn't think
3:52
Jack and then Trev yeah M the the 23
3:54
turnovers how much do you credit that to
3:56
like unfamiliarity with each other and
3:58
is the team like not as far along in
4:00
that respect as he going to this point
4:02
well again I mean you know I'm not using
4:05
that as an excuse you know I mean we've
4:06
had a a few games that you know we've
4:10
had some good basketball play and some
4:12
bad basketball play but at the end of
4:15
the day you still got to take care of
4:18
the basketball if you going to score the
4:20
ball and 23 times we didn't get
4:23
opportunities to do that because we we
4:26
hand delivered it to our opponent so we
4:29
just got come back and get better in
4:31
that area and get our guys making shots
4:34
and feeling good but we got to get we
4:37
got to do better defensively and and and
4:39
we just got out toughed and that's
4:42
unacceptable to
4:44
me hey Malik uh it seemed like
4:47
Louisville really delivered a punch
4:48
early what did you guys kind of feel
4:51
like coming into the game and uh what
4:54
did you think of your competitiveness as
4:55
a team uh especially early and then
4:58
early in that second half
5:00
um I think we had um great intentions um
5:03
we had a great sh going into the game um
5:06
I think we just didn't execute the game
5:08
plan that coach Wilson had um especially
5:10
the defense at end weed certain people
5:13
um what we're doing um I had a couple
5:16
mistakes myself um so it was just like
5:19
not a lack of focus towards the scy we
5:21
had and um just not giving it all was
5:25
on okay we've got a couple questions
5:27
from Zoom so we'll go to Zion Brown and
5:29
then Daniel
5:37
flake I can't hear you can you turn your
5:40
volume up how do you turn that around I
5:43
didn't hear your question your volume
5:45
was
5:46
down can you hear me now yes I
5:50
can with what Le was just talking about
5:52
what the lack of attention and the lack
5:54
of focus that you felt you guys had
5:56
during the game when you sense that
5:57
amongst your team in the middle of a
5:59
game how do you try to turn that around
6:00
and put that well it's not easy you know
6:03
I mean we we could just never get it
6:06
going I thought you know we made a
6:08
couple buckets starting the second half
6:12
and they just counted right back and and
6:16
then it just got out of hand we just
6:17
couldn't we couldn't make shots we
6:20
turned the ball over and it just led to
6:24
easy buckets for them and once they got
6:26
the cushion they they felt good about
6:29
their play so you know this is something
6:31
that we going to have to learn from
6:33
because we can't go back and get this
6:34
game and like I said tomorrow we jump it
6:38
up again tomorrow so I got to get this
6:40
ball Club ready to play tomorrow night
6:42
Daniel then Zach
6:44
brownie yeah after um after last game I
6:48
wanted to say you mentioned how
6:49
frustrated you were with the lack of
6:51
assists that you guys had to only have
6:53
10 tonight how frustrating is it to kind
6:55
of see something that you emphasize not
6:57
translated well it's tough because
6:59
because again you only have 10 assists
7:02
because you turn it over 23 times that's
7:05
those those are opportunities you got to
7:08
give yourself a chance to score we just
7:11
didn't do that and you that's just you
7:14
know we've been averaging around I think
7:16
12 11 12 turnovers a game since we
7:18
started and it's kind of where you like
7:21
to be a little less than that but 23 is
7:24
just way too many I mean you you're not
7:25
going to be very many teams in college
7:27
basketball doing that
7:30
okay Zack
7:32
brownie coach you were frustrated after
7:34
the win over Eastern Illinois kind of
7:36
what was the message to the team after
7:38
that and what kind of led to them I
7:40
guess not being ready for this game
7:41
today well again I you know we had some
7:44
tough practices after that and um again
7:49
you know practices are what they are you
7:51
know we work our asses off in practice
7:53
and I push guys to do the right thing
7:56
and and you hope when you get to the
7:58
Ball Game everything just kind of flows
8:02
and tonight we
8:03
just we went backwards and I got to get
8:06
us going
8:07
forwards last question Zach I guess
8:10
Malik just to kind of follow up on
8:11
something you talked about earlier just
8:13
in a game like this how difficult as a
8:15
team is it not to maybe start pressing
8:17
start trying to to to you know sort of
8:19
do too much too quickly when you feel
8:21
like the game's getting away from you um
8:24
sorry you say that one more time just
8:25
how difficult is it maybe to to not as
8:27
individual players start pressing try
8:29
and force things try and make things
8:31
happen when you feel like the game's
8:32
getting away from you yeah I mean that
8:33
only makes the game worse for us I mean
8:35
people trying to do it by themselves it
8:37
just only causes more turnovers um I
8:41
mean you may get a couple buckets from
8:43
there but I mean our Focus as a group is
8:46
just trying to play together um from
8:48
here on out and keep going from there
8:52
right thanks guys
