On Darius Miller’s role…
“He may be starting; the way he played last game I may put him in the starting lineup. Some guys went back to playing passive and they aren’t going to be on the floor. The first three minutes of the game Michael (Kidd-Gilchrist) wasn’t there, he didn’t play well. We have to keep looking as we go and we’ll figure it out.”
On Darius Miller being OK with coming off the bench…
“They all better be OK with coming off the bench. That person has to be able to come in and lift the game, his energy lifts the game. Whether it’s him or anybody else who comes off the bench that is what you want. We won a few games with him there but if he wasn’t on the court in the last game then we don’t win the game. He’s been there; he’s done it on the national stage while these other guys are still learning. We’ve got a good group; I like the team, I like their attitudes. I think we had a little bit of a wake-up call, but a lot of it was that we didn’t do a great job preparing for a 3-2 (zone). You can’t put that on young players, the other side is, are we getting better each day?”
On what Radford’s game plan will be…
“If they watched the tape they’re going to try to be physical, they’ll play zone and they’ll hold the ball. I just watched tape on them and they are a good enough team to come in here and beat us if we don’t play our game but if we do, it will be hard for them.”
