RJ Davis speaks to the media after a 77-69 loss to NC State.
And we talked to many of the press conference on friday about some tweaks and adjustments made. What were some of those adjustments that maybe we didn't, uh, our mindset, um, our mentality, I feel like, you know, we come into this game like we knew it was at stake, you know, like, you know, we're just trying to get a win, just trying to continue the battle. I think we are, you know, tweaks and um, kind of things, we adjusted wherever, you know, just ball coverages, um, some offensive set that we made that happen, um, set up. So just like those little details and stuff. Um you know, obviously that sometimes things don't go your way. I don't think we just made enough plays down the stretch that we need to. I mean, I think the best thing right now is just, I mean it's definitely disappointing frustrating time, but like I feel like if you pile that on you and just continue to beat yourself up then, you know, nothing is good to change, nothing's gonna happen. So I feel like right now it's just remaining positive, keeping our spirits up, you know, holding each other, um, you know, having each other's backs. Um I'm just supporting one another. I think right now that's our mindset right now going into each game and continue to play hard. I feel like the effort was there today. Um the enthusiasm and energy, um you know, it's just, you know, just little execution here and there, but yeah, after three weeks later now, are you surprised that you guys still have not hit that next gear and stayed there? I mean yeah, I mean just, I think, you know, we do a good job. I think that our next step is for us is just to, you know, when things, you know, when teams going to run, just keeping our composure and you know, especially like on the road, which is the hardest thing, the hardest, you know, when teams going runs just to keep our composure, stay together. Um, you know, get a stop, get a score um and then come back um on the other end and just do that repetitive. So, um I think that would be the next step in here. Like you said, does it give you any solace that you've got these games on the schedule that can fix your resume and get you right where you want to be? Yeah, I have 100% faith and hopefully this team that we could, you know, finish out the regular season. Um and get to where we all um, jeans doing this past year. I mean this upcoming year, the expectations we had. So I'm not giving up, continue to give my all each and every game each and every practice. So that, I mean, I'm pretty sure that the rest of the guys going to do with how much do you guys feel now that you're in a tough situation, you're not trying to put too much pressure on yourself because like I said earlier, I just don't want to put too much pressure and beat yourself up every single day, especially like during this, you know, kind of rocky mountain we're climbing right now, so it's more so just um mainly positive remaining in house and staying together. It's just trying to eliminate the negative opinions and thoughts that's going on. Like, you know, the pressure that you're talking about expectations is just focus on what we have to do as a team.
