 Coach it was about the same time last year where you played the Hawks you guys have those back-to-back games I think it was game six and game seven last year The first of those games you guys won one forty four to one forty one and the second one I think they won by 18 like one six one sixteen and ninety eight So to beat this team tonight because of your defensive edge What does that say for a how far you guys have come in that direction and be just what do you see as the defensive identity for This team at this point in season Yeah, I just think we have to have an underdogs mentality, you know, we have to be very connected We have to understand, you know, what we're trying to accomplish defensively and play together down there We have to communicate and you know have a big part of it is finding that collective Clarity and connectivity and then a big part of it is just underdog mentality. So you know, I think You know, we did give up 12 offensive rebounds, but um, you know, they didn't hurt us too much tonight As a result of the rebounds, but I thought we got the big rebounds when it mattered And I thought our guys really stuck to it tonight and just had that resilience down there Coaches guys have talked a lot about getting to know one another on the basketball court feeling each other on developing that chemistry I'm sure numbers reflected on the stat sheet from tonight's game But from what you can see on the court What are some signs that you're seeing that these guys are understanding each other on the floor a little bit better? Yeah, I just think we're improving both ends, you know We're understanding defensively how we want to play and offensively, you know I think we're becoming more willing to get to second actions and trust and move it and not play against the loaded defense As often as possible So we we're growing we're improving we're getting a feel for one another But it's got to be a process that we never You know let go of we have to continually look for for solutions and enjoy that process Enjoy the growth enjoy experiencing this together and trying to find ways to improve and make the game easier for one another
