Q2 Defensive frustration and team ceiling
And then you seem to kind of stress the defense last week. It seemed like you were a little bit frustrated with it. Where do you think you guys are at with that Right now, what's the ceiling potentially for this team?
We definitely got to get a lot better. We felt like in all the scrimmages we played, our offense wasn't really a problem. It was our defense. So that's something we're working day by day in practice.
Q4 Pushing to score within the flow
Is that something you have to like push yourself to do more within the flow of the game, or does it come naturally?
That's something I do have to push myself with because I've never really been a scorer, like really a scorer my whole college career. So it's a little bit different, but I'm getting used to it.
Q10 Where the defense needs to grow
Defensively, what do you think you guys need to grow? Where do you need to grow the most?
We feel like just being more physical. Teams shoot really high percentages on us, like at the rim. So that's something that we're trying to work on every day, just walling up, just being more physical with other teams.
