00:04You mentioned on Sunday that those new guys, lack of experience guys,
00:08this week was an important week for them with no games, a lot of practice.
00:12What's kind of the focus you would expect from them this week to get out of it?
00:16Well, we spent a lot of time yesterday defensively, you know,
00:20just going over, you know, things that are fundamentally that we've got to do better.
00:27Things that often to the ball, you know, man and ball,
00:32just we're making fundamental mistakes that a good basketball team,
00:36an experienced basketball team wouldn't make.
00:40And so we spent all day yesterday on that.
00:44We'll spend a lot of time again defensively today.
00:47I know we've got to score more points, but, you know,
00:51defensively we can get some of those things corrected earlier.
00:56You know, it's just effort, thought, you know, often to the ball,
00:59just I think we can get some of those things corrected earlier than, you know,
01:04offense just takes more time.
01:07And, you know, we're going to have to hit some shots.
01:10You know, we did have some good looks the other day,
01:13but we're not shooting it with a lot of confidence.
01:16And I can understand that.
01:18You know, you lose ball games and you don't play with confidence.
01:22Like I said, I mentioned watching that game with Purdue.
01:25We were 15-2 and our guys were flying around like they knew what they were doing,
01:29you know.
01:31So you just, your whole mindset changes.
01:33And our guys aren't used to being here, the guys that have been with us.
01:37You know, KJ, he's not used to being here.
01:39You know, Nate, been with us five years.
01:41Those guys, you know, it's hard on them because they're not used to being in this situation.
01:51We're going to be here.
