You lose your confidence when the shot doesn't go in. He seemed to really regain it in the second half, and I hope he keeps it all season. Sometimes you just need one to go in to make that hoop bigger.
More Quotes from Sean Miller:
It almost seems like the 15th game of the year where in one half we look a certain way and another we look another way. That's where our basketball team is, can we put a solid, consistent string of 40 minutes together You like for (play) to be smooth across, where we're the same team from start to finish.Sean Miller
As a coach at Xavier, you can't think of it in those terms, because you'd just have unnecessary sleepless nights. You only get to play them one time. We're not going to play them for another 300-and-whatever days. You just try to focus on the whole, doing the best you can for the entire season.

Looking at his development, he could really make our team much different down the stretch.

One of the keys to us is sometimes we have some great baskets and have a real good pace to how we play on offense, and then it seems to slow down. When the offense goes into one of those droughts, we're not moving it up the floor. Not necessarily quick shooting, but just the pace. We're always better when we have a quicker pace. ... Brian (Thornton) being able to run, and Brandon Cole or Will (Caudle) being able to run when Brian's out. ... Make or miss on their end, we want to be able to get the ball up the court.

We're going to try our best to provide as much help to the guy guarding him on that area of the floor. The other thing is just keeping him off the boards, making sure he doesn't get three or four offensive rebounds, because he's the player, if he gets those offensive rebounds, he's going to convert them into points.

Not because the coach changed his mind, but because looking at these past two days, those five guys have done a great job. Their attitude has been very good. We've put our players to the test defensively, and just looking at them working together, they're the five guys that should start based on those two days. If it would be any other way, we would make a change.
