IT WAS A THREE-POINT GAME AND YOU GOT CAUGHT UP WITH KAUFMAN-RENN, THE REFS SEPARATED YOU GUYS. SEEMED LIKE A REALLY PHYSICAL GAME DOWN THERE.
“Yeah.”
WHAT WAS IT LIKE MATCHED UP WITH HIM AND ALL THAT PHYSICALITY?
“Nah, it was a really physical game. I think they were a little more physical than us that game. But yeah, he’s a great player. You saw it, he played a great game.”
WHAT MAKES HIM SO TOUGH DOWN THERE?
“He’s really strong when he gets to his right hand. Like you saw, he was making a lot of shots, just contested shots, with his right hand.”
WERE THE REFEREES KIND OF LETTING YOU GUYS PLAY TONIGHT?
“Yeah, I thought it was a physical game, yeah.”
DEFENSIVELY, COACH SAID HE WANTS TO SEE IMPROVEMENT IN PICK-AND-ROLL COVERAGE AND POST DEFENSE.
“Yeah.”
WHAT CAN YOU GUYS DO BETTER?
“Nah, we just gotta pay attention more to the scouting report. And then, yeah, stopping the ball, I gotta do a better job of stopping the ball. So, that’s what I would say.”
ON OFFENSE, WHEN THEY WENT ON THAT 12-0 RUN TO PULL AWAY, WHAT WAS TAKEN OUT OF THERE FLOW?
“Yeah, I think we had some turnovers, and then they got a couple rebounds too. They hurt us and they went on that run.”
WHAT ABOUT SETTLING FOR TOO MANY JUMP SHOT, TOO?
“Yeah, I think we should’ve tried to get the ball more inside. They were trapping, and then we could’ve got the open three there when they trapped. But yeah, just gotta learn from it.”
PLAYED WELL FOR 30-PLUS MINUTES, BUT OBVIOUSLY IT WAS A LOSS. HOW DO YOU TAKE THE PROS AND THE CONS? WHAT’s YOUR BIG TAKEAWAY FROM THIS?
“Yeah, I think we gotta watch our breakdowns. I mean, we started the game with way too many turnovers. Gotta eliminate those. And then, I thought we did a decent job on the glass. I thought we did a good job offensive rebounding, could’ve been better in the second. I think the second half, we let up a little bit. But yeah, we just gotta learn from this one and be ready, get ready for the next one.”
