austin defenders fast front gets hard kid minutes point sharing stay
It is very hard for defenders to stay in front of him. He is deceptively fast for a kid as big as he is. Rashaun gets about 27 minutes a game, sharing the point with Austin Ainge.
austin came challenged coaching consistent guys hard jimmy order others people road rough tendency tonight
I told our guys I wanted them to do two things: play hard and be tough. We've had a tendency to let people get after us on the road but tonight we answered. As a coaching staff, we challenged Jimmy to play hard and he responded. I thought Austin Ainge also came in and got us going after we got off to a rough start. In order for us to be successful, we need Jimmy and others to be consistent like he was tonight.
conference focus great ncaa others paid people potential thrive time tournament year
It's a great time of year. There's a lot going on, and there's a lot of focus being paid to conference standings and potential NCAA tournament teams. It's a time of year where some people thrive and others struggle.
good hungry kids personally seem week
It's all what you make of it. I personally think the bye week is a good thing. The kids seem to get really hungry when they have a week off.
competition good guys help last night personnel players plus realize step strength three weeks
What has been a strength the last two or three weeks with this team. We have personnel step in and help guys when they're not having a good a night as they wanted. We have 10 or 11 players help us. In practice, there is so much competition that guys realize that if they don't play the way they are capable, there is a guy there to do it and that is a plus for this team.
next trying win
We're just trying to win the next game.
half move shoes slow
Usually I can't move that fast. I told myself, 'whoa, I have to slow down or these shoes will take me right to half court'.
care contest expect guard guy tough work
We're going to do a lot of things to try and guard Slaughter. I don't think you can just put one guy on him and expect him to take care of him. We're going to try and make him work for everything he gets. We want to contest his shots. He's going to get shots, we just want to make them as tough as possible.
far score team
We are a far better team when we get out and score in transition.
looking rise schools
We are looking into installing them because of a rise in vandalism and graffiti at the schools during off hours.
appreciate center enjoy fans game given great hope reason support
We appreciate the support our fans have given us this season. The fans are a big reason why the Marriott Center is such a great place to play, and we hope they will come out and enjoy a great game on Saturday.
area crowd fans followed great nice played players positive reaction team three time watch
We actually had a great crowd tonight. Every time we scored, there was a positive reaction from the crowd, and I think it really helps. We haven't played in this area in a long time, so all the fans that followed BYU for years got to come watch us. We also have three players on our team from Texas. It was nice to have the fans' support.

Wyoming is one of the hottest teams in the league right now. They are a team that has had some tough games and learned a lot about themselves. They are playing well right now and are really confident.

Our players are really engaged and encourage each other. When someone makes a mistake, they're right there encouraging them to move on and get better.
