Seth you played uh career hot 33 minutes
0:03
in successive nights did was it was it
0:06
draining was
0:08
it I mean was it harder to get your shot
0:11
down toward the end because of fatigue
0:15
no no uh fatigue didn't lose us the game
0:20
uh I mean we missed shots we missed easy
0:22
bunnies know first 10 second half but I
0:25
can't say I was tired I played however
0:27
many games now 30 plus minutes 29 plus
0:29
minutes so used to but another hole and
0:34
you couldn't get out of what was going
0:35
on when they got the big lead there the
0:38
no Pride
0:39
defensively simple as that guys don't
0:41
want to guard that's the outcome that's
0:43
going to happen every I me each and
0:44
every time guys can guard on this team I
0:46
know guys can I've seen in practice I've
0:48
seen other games uh but if we don't want
0:51
to play with the defensive Pride that's
0:52
going to be that same outcome uh seemed
0:55
like they were they were passing out at
0:56
the Double teams a lot and getting open
0:58
shots is that what you were seeing
1:01
sure sure no Pride nothing that's simple
1:05
as that did anybody have words about
1:07
that the locker room at halftime yeah
1:10
yeah we had our words we spoke to each
1:11
other but what we said in the locker
1:13
room was going to stay there what on
1:15
offensively what what do you think uh it
1:18
wasn't cohes cuz he took a lot at the
1:21
time what do you think was going on half
1:22
quarter for offense well I was thinking
1:24
they took us out of our offense but we
1:25
let them take us out of our offense
1:28
uh kind just like they punched and we
1:30
didn't want to punch back simp is that
1:32
you know the ball stuck and that's I
1:35
mean if I'm playing the team that's what
1:36
I want to happen I want the ball to
1:37
stick in one person's hand for 25
1:39
seconds and that's kind of how we played
1:40
the whole game so yeah only seven
1:42
assists it did just seemed like it
1:44
wasn't a lot of team play a lot of
1:47
one-onone is that what you think
1:48
happened uh yeah I mean it wasn't on it
1:51
wasn't on purpose it wasn't intentional
1:53
nobody was being purposly selfish uh but
1:55
like I said it took us out of offense
1:57
and we let them like I said we didn't
1:58
have pride on a defensive end nor on the
2:00
offensive end so that's what's going to
2:02
happen is that the biggest thing that
2:04
bothers you is maybe feeling like they
2:05
were the aggressor and you yeah I'm
2:08
really bothered I feel like for the
2:09
first time guys didn't punch back at all
2:12
today we had maybe a good punch back
2:15
earli in the first half maybe mid first
2:17
half but you know the effort that we
2:20
gave
2:21
today I mean that that'll be the result
2:24
each and every time we continue to get
2:25
that effort yeah feel like you shrunk a
2:27
little bit to the challenge I guess as a
2:30
team yeah is that what you're saying I
2:32
guess so lost by
2:36
13 how do you feel about the third place
2:39
game coming up against Michigan State I
2:41
know that's not where you want to be you
2:42
have to sort of regroup quickly here
2:45
yeah we're on some next it's a good
2:46
Learning lesson for us
2:48
uh but you know as soon as we leave this
2:51
bus and we leave this gym I can't think
2:53
about this game anymore so Michigan
2:55
state they're a really good team they
2:56
play in the trenches we know from last
2:58
year it was a really tough game so
3:01
we want to win we going to have to wake
3:02
up from to day as simple as that
3:07
agree
3:09
what can you put your finger on what is
3:11
happening in terms of the slow starts or
3:14
the starts not being where you want them
3:15
to be cuz this is as y'all said this is
3:17
this is not sustainable obviously yeah I
3:20
think teams teams do start off really
3:23
hot uh against us you know I won't say
3:26
like we're necessarily turning the ball
3:28
over a lot in the first half or taking
3:30
bad
3:30
shots I don't know I can't really answer
3:34
I think offensively we get what we want
3:36
uh but that Pride that I've been talking
3:39
about we got to just we got to bring
3:41
that from the we got to bring that from
3:42
the start we got to bring that from the
3:43
jump cuz that's what it is you think the
3:47
defensive intensity isn't there at the
3:49
beginning of games lots of times yeah
3:51
yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah it's not it's
3:53
not I think I just said that if I'm not
3:55
mistaken but it's not
4:01
what did did you feel like their length
4:03
they're a big team I mean I think 64 is
4:05
the smaller starter you got Miles Kelly
4:07
66 and the number 10 67 I felt like
4:10
maybe their length on some those ball
4:12
screens you guys are trying to work RJ's
4:14
not the biggest Elliot's not the biggest
4:15
you feel like their length was was
4:17
bothersome they weren't the problem we
4:18
were the problem in the ball screens uh
4:20
like I said the ball was sticking and
4:22
each had his hands and we weren't
4:23
getting the ball out cook enough they
4:24
were putting two on us all ball scre so
4:27
the advantage was there all we got to do
4:29
is get the ball
4:30
but it's not necessarily what we were
4:32
doing went back there yeah what was Co
4:36
stav's message to you all after the game
4:39
uh they played harder the harder team
4:41
that played harder one uh but we got ran
4:44
uh we got quick turn around Michigan
4:46
State they playing the trenes so we want
4:49
to win we going to make a full
4:51
360 what do you want to see
4:54
change you're you're bothered I know I
4:57
just went Pride defensively uh I don't
5:00
think we're bought in as a team
5:01
defensively and that's something I
5:02
really take pride in uh I know I'm
5:04
scoring more I know I may not have
5:06
stepped into the challenge as much
5:07
defensively
5:08
but I feel like it's still there for me
5:11
and it's just sometimes it's just as a
5:12
team we just don't have it I got to do
5:14
better as a leader to team to bring that
5:16
but we just got to fight I mean it's as
5:19
simple as that we got to fight if we
5:21
don't it's embarrassment for I mean this
5:23
this logo this name in no Jersey so
5:26
sorry you been ask us already but
5:28
obviously I know you guys wanted to come
5:29
with Maui with the championship you do
5:31
have the third place game tomorrow I
5:33
guess kind of what's the process of
5:34
mentally recalibrating just understand
5:36
you know there is another opportunity to
5:38
get win on the record and everything
5:39
like that yeah we have no choice but to
5:41
like you said recalibrate you know our
5:43
brains and our mental uh we have to if
5:46
we're moping about this game come
5:48
tomorrow we going to mess around and
5:49
lose again so I was just telling them uh
5:52
Michigan state is a team that they play
5:55
in the trenches all game every day uh we
5:58
know from last year so we know this
6:00
won't be a surprise so we got to make a
6:02
full 360 like we got to completely turn
6:04
things around if we want to see a good
6:05
outcome tomorrow B on I guess the way
6:07
the first couple games of this
6:09
tournament started you know going behind
6:11
and having the holes and things like
6:12
that you did touch on it some yesterday
6:14
um what do you think specifically you
6:16
all need to kind of do to I guess get
6:18
those faster starts just bring energy
6:20
and have pride me think it's as simple
6:22
as that we bring energy and you know we
6:26
fight on the defensive end to start the
6:28
game off it doesn't matter permission to
6:30
makeing shots cuz we're going to be
6:32
doing what we need to do that's where it
6:34
starts for us that's where it starts
6:35
with every good team uh just got to
6:38
bring it we're not the biggest team and
6:39
we know that and we fought before we've
6:41
saw Pride before and we've been a very a
6:44
very strong team before but it just
6:46
wasn't there tonight for some reason I
6:48
know Johnny Brun is a great play I mean
6:50
that's that's a given but the way he was
6:52
able to get going quickly and also start
6:55
talking to people and sort of you know
6:58
feel feel himself a little bit did you
7:00
feel like they fed off some of his
7:02
energy the way he got going quickly
7:05
absolutely absolutely if one of our guys
7:06
got going quickly and they
7:08
started honestly just babying other
7:11
teams I I get going too so I'm sure
7:14
they definitely did uh I think it helped
7:16
us be going a little bit I mean he's an
7:18
amazing player but know him talking kind
7:20
of got some of us players going but I
7:23
mean it wasn't enough obviously yeah I
7:26
feel like laot it's obviously one of you
7:27
guys' best players I mean do you think
7:30
he's gotten off track in this tournament
7:31
from the way he played the first couple
7:33
games last night was a struggle and you
7:36
know tonight wasn't his greatest Ste M
7:40
yeah I don't know I don't know I love
7:43
Elliot uh when the ball in his hands I
7:45
want the ball on Elliott's hands I want
7:46
ellot running our offense so I don't
7:48
want anything to change he just got to
7:49
continue staying aggressive I think he
7:51
just needs to see a couple shots go down
7:52
maybe I guess if he's struggling he's
7:54
going to be just fine I mean he's kind
7:56
of the anchor of this team so we going
7:58
to need him and you know he knows that
8:00
yeah you know we take the notes over
8:02
there uh you didn't get a shot for the
8:04
first8 minutes of the game um was that
8:06
too long do you think for a guy with
8:08
your caliber uh we were getting good
8:11
shots obviously I want to kind of get
8:12
going as soon as I can but I think we
8:15
were getting some good shots uh but the
8:18
ball is also sticking a little bit I
8:19
don't know I don't know I mean the game
8:21
just blows you know if I don't get a
8:23
shot in the first eight minutes to me
8:24
it's just meant to be you know if I
8:26
don't get a shot all game it's just
8:27
meant to be uh cuz I love my teammates I
8:29
love when they're being aggressive I
8:30
love when they're putting up shots uh as
8:32
also they taking the right shots and for
8:33
the most part they did so want to get
8:35
going sooner but you know I live with
8:40
it SE thank you appreciate you talking
