along coin decided determination few final gaining game kept last past points time toss turning wins
There hasn't been a difference. Over the past two years, each and every game was a coin toss that was decided in the final minutes. We just kept on gaining determination and smelling wins every time we played. There's just been a lot of little turning points along the way in last few years.

It seems like something here in Pershing Arena dictates it's going to come down to the last seconds. Maybe it's just a ploy by our players to get the crowd coming back.

As the conference gets competitive, it becomes physical, and he is our physical presence in there. Really that's what he gives us, and that's pretty easy to see.

Unfortunately, he's had a lot of little injuries going on every year. It's tough because, in a way, people get used to you not being around or available or being there. Right now, he's just rounding into shape.
hit offense standing
We weren't in rhythm. We started standing around on offense and Hicks hit some shots.

I think it was a well-deserved honor. He was a two-time player of the week and the only underclassman on the first team.

Our guys are aware of just how tough this conference is. We just have to play it one game at a time.

From top to bottom, I just don't see how there could be a better league in the nation.

We lost to two good teams, so I don't sense frustration. We have more bounce in our step now and can just go out and play without worrying about the league title.
almost energetic feed game huge knocked played settled shots
He was very, very energetic early, almost too energetic. But once he settled into the game he knocked down some huge shots and played solid. We feed off how he plays.
