vs uconn's four out spread offense communication important?
"it's paramount. Communication for us, it's been something we have to get better at; communication and anticipation
but you're right, they have, they can space you out, where they can take you off the bounce , as well as they can shoot. In Hartford, in Conneticut, they play with a lot more energy, they're a different team.
"So we're going to have to - wheich we did a good job for most stretches (of Xavier game)...We have to be in synch defensively, we can't leave our teammates on an island...but all the focus can't be on (stopping one guy)...because these other four guys can hurt you also.
how do you take out hamilton?
'i don't know if you can take him out of the game, just becuase of how much he is a part of their offense, he initiates alot of what they do, to tell you the truth. He's not jsut scoring...in one of those games, the announcers were saying he leads that conference in assists. so he's not just getting his own, he's facilitating and helping his teammates
"you just have to slow him down, and slow him down by slowing everyone else down. But he's too talented, and they put the ball, he's in those situations enough where he's either going to be making plays for himself or his teammates".
lot of zone expected? (as they did vs tulsa)
"Tulsa might have been the whole game where they play ed zone. And they're doing it a lot more then Conneticut teams have traditionally played without a doubt".
if snowed in
"we're going to think positive, and hope that we can get home saturday. That being said, we are prepared to stay, we do have a place to practice, we are preapred to start our Creighton scout Saturday afternoon if we do get stuck up there.
"do we want to get stuck up there? No. But if we'll still be practicing, still be preparing for the nextgame".
realignment impact vis a vis huskies
"i don't want to compare and contrast where we are to where they are. I love where we are...We're not going anywhere, we're the best basketball conference
"I don't know that much about where they are to be honest. But i feel pretty good about the big east. I feel pretty good about where georgetown is".
