in the second
0:02
half
0:15
yes
0:18
fight was really good we just you know
0:20
we couldn't keep them off the free throw
0:23
line youber what do you think happens I
0:26
guess in some of those offensive lows so
0:28
to speak I know sometimes make ad
0:30
Mission shots may be hard to explain but
0:33
I guess just when the offense gets you
0:35
know stagnant like it did at times just
0:36
what do you attribute that to I disagree
0:38
I don't think the offense was stagnant
0:41
um I think we had some open shots and um
0:44
we had some good looks and
0:47
um you know
0:50
we you know sometimes shots go in
0:53
sometimes they
0:56
don't when Elliot had that 10-point run
0:59
in the first half you guys went up 16
1:01
to7 wake was kind of struggling to find
1:03
itself missed some open shots was that
1:05
an opportunity for you guys to maybe
1:06
extend the lead more but you were unable
1:09
to you kind of sat at 16 points for a
1:11
while do you think that that was one of
1:12
the key stretches in the first half RJ
1:14
by the way alluded to the period there
1:16
where maybe you guys should have built a
1:17
bigger lead a little bit more of a
1:19
cushion well they were able to um keep
1:22
the score close in the first half
1:24
because of their ability to get to the
1:25
free throw line I mean I I I don't have
1:28
the first half
1:33
um yeah I mean they they were 13 of 16
1:36
in the first half and so um their
1:39
ability to uh to keep it close and and
1:42
to get back into the game was uh really
1:45
hridge his ability to get to the free
1:47
throw line and so um yeah it would have
1:49
been great to be able to extend that
1:51
lead but um weren't able to do it you
1:54
didn't attempt a free throw in the
1:56
second half was that a product of
1:58
settling for priv Toops too often no I
2:01
don't think so at all what what led to
2:08
that us not being able to get to the
2:10
free throw
2:12
line Jay Wht hit a three put you guys up
2:15
54 53 then they went on 12-2 run what
2:18
happened during that 122 run
2:28
um I can't remember everything detail um
2:31
a number of things are going through my
2:32
head um I knew Jay wit hit that uh hit
2:36
that three to put us up by
2:38
one
2:40
um then they went to uh their 131 Zone
2:45
and we had a couple looks um there and
2:47
just weren't able to knock them
2:49
down they changed up their
2:53
defense um when it comes to I guess on
2:56
the boards or you know was able to kind
2:59
of get the advantage when it comes to
3:01
rebounds I guess what do you think the
3:02
the difference was there I know they
3:04
obviously have you know their you know
3:05
degree of size and everything like that
3:07
but I guess when it comes to the extra
3:09
possessions they were able to get I mean
3:10
what did you kind of notice out there
3:11
that us to do well I mean they got two
3:14
more
3:16
offensive rebounds than us you know and
3:19
so their ability to get Second Chance
3:22
points
3:23
um but overall they they beat us on the
3:26
boards by eight and so but I don't think
3:28
offensive rebounding I think
3:31
I think one their ability to be able to
3:33
get to the free throw line and make
3:35
their free throws and we had some good
3:38
and our inability to get to the free
3:40
throw line and our inability to to knock
3:43
down some open looks that um just didn't
3:47
go in tonight mentioned um they went
3:50
into a zone at times I know Stanford did
3:53
a similar thing not the same exact Zone
3:54
but did a similar thing kind of went
3:56
into Zone I guess when teams do that you
3:58
know do you feel like throws the the
4:01
Rhythm off it all like I mean like you
4:02
said you do get some you know open shots
4:04
but do you think that throws off the The
4:05
Rhythm I don't think it throws off the
4:07
Rhythm I I we were prepared for it um
4:10
honestly I was surprised I I thought
4:12
they were going to play more of that and
4:15
uh we were prepared for it and we had
4:17
open looks and we had open looks against
4:19
Stanford and just you know um for
4:22
whatever reason it didn't go in um you
4:25
know congratulations to wake fars a
4:28
terrific team and extremely well coached
4:30
and um you know they only hit two
4:33
three-pointers and their two
4:34
three-pointers were by their
4:36
statistically worst three-point Shooters
4:38
and so
4:40
um again it comes down to you know makes
4:43
and misses anybody else for Coach
4:46
players are starting to come out so if
4:47
you're going to get the players you need
4:48
