Ross devotes a lot of time to kicking in practice. That really allows him to focus on that. That has been a positive move there.

They were down the first time we played them, but the next year they were much improved. Last year, we were able to beat them pretty handily at home. When you play in Trinidad it's kind of a hostile environment but it's a fun environment. We're going to get their best effort.

You can practice all the time, but it's better to get into the games. It's always a little bit different. It's a little bit quicker in games than it is in practice.

It's a play we practice every day and I swear that was the first time I've thrown that lob (pass) that perfect.

UAB came out pressing us, and we spent a lot of time in practice on our press breaker. The first time we took care of the basketball. That's what we have to do this time.

We just have to focus more on ballhandling in practice. There's a lot of things we need to focus on. But we'll get better each week. I learned a lot about this team, but I expected a lot of it.
