Pace with this team is there such a thing as too fast you have to kind of find a sweet spot I mean maybe sometimes as long as we're taking care of the ball if we're not taking care of the ball obviously we know we might have to slow it down a little bit but I mean we like to play fast and sometimes yes stuff happens without whether it's a turnover but we know that's the pace we like to play at and I think just our progress throughout this whole season we've seen that that playing as fast as we do works for us yeah we have a lot of confidence in ourselves I think just the way we play Just The Way We compete night in night out um we just know that no matter like we're going to give it our all and I think when you see when we're able to play our game when we play fast when we get stops and we let that fuel our offense I mean we're a whole different team what's the approach to the next four games as you make a push here yeah definitely to win come out strong I think um just being able to have these games the next three at home um is going to be really important for us I think it's been a great home stand so far just make sure we come out we need to have some better starts um especially that first quarter especially the third quarter um just Mak sure we're coming out we're competing did this team need a game like that from Sunday just that kind of a test this season I think so but I also think that we could have prevented that a little bit more just the way that we came out the way that um we guard a little bit make sure we get a little bit more stops I mean when you look at the box score and they took almost 15 to 20 more shots than us like when you play a great team um that's hard to come back from and so just make sure that we see that be able to clean clean that up for our next few games team showing the ability to come back though wasn't there maybe the first part of the Season how was that grow yeah definitely I mean you see it the first part of the season I mean when we were down we were down and it's just simple as that but now you we're down we talk about what exactly we need to do whether that's clean up our offensive rebounds or clean up getting stops or making sure we're passing the ball more like that's stuff that we able to talk about we're able to clean that up we've seen more of your game offensively as seems the last couple weeks what have you been feeling here in this stretch it just seems to open it up I mean I'm just taking what the defense gives me just making sure I'm dominating each and every time even that doesn't mean taking the shot but just making the right pass I think I'm just trying to make sure that I'm just very aware of what I have to do on the court come in and run this offense it seems the passing has become contagious almost the ball just moves everywhere five on the floor yeah I mean when the pace that we play at I think that's a big reason why I mean we're playing fast so making sure that we find the next person open and making that one more I think even in practice we work on one more making that extra pass good to great and so we do that in games and we get wide open shots what ways is all this this run of home game has been helpful for you guys it's been great just to fuel us I mean if we were on the road down 16 we would not be hearing the crowd cheer us back into this um and so for us is just making sure that we one give our fans a great show we're competing and then we know that we have one more game that's going to be on the road and we just have to be prepared for that talked a lot about the resilience of this group considering the St you guys have come from then so where do you feel that resilience has come from I guess collectively or even just individually I mean a big part of that came from the beginning of the Season like coming into the locker room being one in eight um starting the season way we did like our our mindset was always we never stay down even if we get knock down we never stay down and I think even in games you're able to see that us Turn the Page us play our type of basketball and it we just float I you guys struggled so much in close games what's been important in flipping that this year um execution especially in that fourth quarter I even think some games this season we've had that we kind of just gave it away in that fourth quarter and just being able to grow from that understand that execution is a big part especially when you're going up against Great teams making sure you can execute because when they come down on the other end that's their goal as well is there a confidence element to that you get a few under your belt like okay we can do this yeah and I think just having the team that we have around us I mean everyone feels confident to take that shot because we know that they're going to make it they're going to uh we trust each other make that shot and I think that's a big part of it as well pace with this team is there such a thing as too fast you have to kind of find a sweet spot I mean maybe sometimes as long as we're taking care of the ball if we're not taking care of the ball obviously we know we might have to slow it down a little bit but I mean we like to play fast and sometimes yes stuff happens without whether there a turnover but we know that's the PA we like to play at and I think just our progress throughout this whole season we've seen that that playing as fast as we do it works for us this season you you guys broke the home attendance record so for somebody that didn't watch last season and only started watching this season what's been the difference playing in this building from last year to now this year I think just the continued um just crowd that we have I mean they come no matter what time the game is early game late game I mean they're there and I think that's great um for us because we use that energy we feel for that and it's always great to have those fans in the crowd
