defending gave national quicker
They were just quicker at every position. And that gave us trouble. They were the better team. They showed why they are the defending national champions.
anyone darn defense good offense run tough
They're tough to defend. They run their offense as well as anyone in the conference. That was some pretty darn good defense - sometimes they didn't even get a shot.
confident defending guessing national
They're the defending national champions, so I'm guessing they are probably a pretty confident group. I know that they play with a lot of intensity.
four guards looking plays using
UNLV plays four guards. So using four guards was something we were looking at doing anyway.
defended half played second
I thought the second half we played harder. We executed a little better and we defended a little better.
highly risk rush unlikely
I think it's highly unlikely she'll play. We don't want to rush her back and risk aggravating the injury.
air beat carried dig experience great happy hole hung road team tougher win
We have to be a tougher road team to win this conference. I'm really happy we hung in and beat Air Force. That was a great game, and our experience really carried us to a win, but we have to find a way not to dig a hole for ourselves.
effort full
We have to be able to play the full game. We have to get over being a one-half team. I was really disappointed with our effort at halftime.
figure game seven win won
I always try to figure out defensively what we have to do to win the game. Even if they got the 55 we would have won the game by seven - 39 is good.
cuts definitely hard motion plays running time
I like triangle, but we have a hard time even running set plays with this team, so motion is definitely the better option. Even if everyone doesn't find the right spot, they're always making cuts and moving. If they move, they score.
ball care passes smarter sure taking
I'm not sure why we haven't been taking care of the ball as well at home. We have to make smarter passes and think about what we're doing at all times.
bunch games run work
They'll go right in there and run something completely different. But they're going to get over that. Now we have a whole bunch of games to work on that.
bad block higher hurt level quicker
They hurt us real bad on the boards. We could not block them out. They were quicker and jumped at a higher level than we did.
coach great hungry
They've got some talent, a great coach and they're hungry for a win. They've got nothing to lose.
