Q1 Picking up effort or changing approach
Was it just picking it up or doing something different?
I think it's just like the way we practiced and prepared this past week. We just took motivation on us losing to UConn.
Q3 Moustapha Thiam's performance versus UConn
Moustapha, you said he was at about 60% against UConn. Was what you saw from him today more of what you'd expect from him?
Yeah, for sure. I still don't think he's at 100%, which is scary. And I think that he's just going to continue to get better and better, just like how the bigs did last year.
Q17 NBA potential as a catch-and-shoot big
What do you think?
Yeah, I think just like I've always been really good at like, obviously I've come off a lot of screens in my life. I felt pretty good at like seeing what the defenders do. Yeah, for sure. I think that— I was coming off screen, they were bringing 2 to the ball.
If I was an NBA scout and I seen a 6'10, 6'11 guy shooting no-dip catch-and-shoot 3s and just making the whole defense not be able to help on him, I feel like I would pick him to be on my team. That's just me. And I think that it'll show throughout the year. I think he'll have a lot of success.
