We have to do a better job of that, and they’re going to see that when we watch film on Thursday. “Now we have to get back home and try to correct our mistakes. It will be good to have a few days of practice before our next game. We have so many new guys that are try- ing to feel their way out, and we’re going to be ok, but we can be a better basketball team the quicker we figure it out.”
