Mike Boynton Jr. press conference after Marquette

Yeah, I think, I think every— every game is kind of, in my mind, the same. Like, it's an opportunity for us to get better. Um, and I try not to dwell as much. It's probably part of my evolution as a coach from the first time around doing this, is that I have a much shorter memory, even though I know how to get to what our team needs to do next, right?

Win, lose, or draw. And tomorrow will be the same thing. The loss anymore than I think about the win. I don't think about— I won't think about today's win any longer before we start getting ready for the next one.

And, you know, we lost to a really damn good team. You know, like, I'd be shocked if they're not, you know, 1 or 2 seed later in the year. And I think that'll be something to look back on as a great learning experience.

Yeah, I mean, go again. You know, when you're not shooting well and you believe you're a good shooting team, you don't need to try to change your shooting thought process as long as you're hunting good shots. The thing that always has to hold you down is the other end of the floor. And it's going to be a staple of who we are as long as I'm in charge here, and that we're going to guard no matter what.

And on nights when we make shots, hopefully our margin is a little bit bigger. On nights we don't, we just win by a little bit less. And that's the mindset that we're going to go into every game with. Coach Tonight Boynton, you mentioned that you're going to be a little bit more aggressive.

we were really, really good defensively until the end. We let Porter get going a little bit, but I thought our focus and defensive intensity for about 35 minutes was pretty damn good.

Yeah, I mean, you know, at some point people are going to do everything they can to try to keep J.P. Estrella from getting rebounds. They may send 2, which again, it's going to be incumbent upon our guards to get in there and help. Elliot had 7, Trey had 5, and Roddy and Quinn both get 4. And if you get that, now you're going to have a chance to really, really make a difference on the glass.

It's also going to give you a chance to get out in transition a little bit more because it eliminates One of the passes that you need to make in terms of an outlet pass from your bigs. So I think as our guards continue to evolve in that area, we'll be that much more dangerous defensively and we'll be that much faster on the offensive end.
