freshmen good great kids last lost number people players playing realize recognize team
You have to recognize that they've got a lot of young kids out there. They're playing freshmen and they lost great players. People don't realize the number of great players they lost. I think probably they're a good team, but they're not the same team as they were last year.
aggressive assistant bulldog carried coach coaching college denver division fit great heck integral landed matt middle players recruiting ties turned west
Matt is a great fit for our staff. He is a young aggressive assistant coach who has been at two Division I universities that have turned around with his recruiting and coaching abilities. He was an integral part of the players landed at Denver and Middle Tennessee. He was a heck of a player in college who was a bulldog and he carried that into his coaching career. He has recruiting ties in the Northwest, West and Midwest.
basically comeback cut dominated game heart minutes players superior team took vastly won
They won the game in the first 10 minutes and there was nothing that we could do to cut into that margin. They basically took our heart early, and we're not a team that has a lot of comeback potential. This is a game that we were just dominated by vastly superior players and a coach.

We seem to have hit a little bit of a wall. We were playing better in the first half of the season.

We lost a lot of close games. We've not been beaten badly by anyone.
earn execution half second timing
UCLA's execution in the first half was a thing of beauty. Their screens, their cuts, their timing was perfect. In the second half, we made them earn it.
inherited
I don't even look at those things. There were so many streaks that I inherited here, and Wisconsin. When I was at Wisconsin, there were so many streaks there, I kind of let them go in one ear, and out the other.
aside emotions fact kids maybe owned
I don't know what that is aside from the emotions of the game. Maybe the fact that they have pretty much owned us over the years. I'm not sure. I do know . . . that they've got a lot of young kids out there.
feeling leader maybe obvious trust watch
Obviously, we have no leader on the floor. That is obvious if you watch us. I don't think they trust me. My feeling is that most of them think I'm over the hill. Maybe I'm just exaggerating.
