Let's put it this way. We're on the radar screen. And that's a good thing.

allowed ball carter catch good hand hurt knew shooter shots smith surprise
We knew what kind of shooter Smith was. That was no surprise to us. He made some unbelievable long-range shots with a hand in his face. And Carter hurt us in the first half. We allowed him to catch the ball in good position. We didn't play him properly.
blocks came energy good win
We came out of the blocks with good energy and it was a wire-to-wire win over a good team.
best bit defensive erase forward gamble good justin nation presence reason somebody team
They're a good defensive team, and the reason they're a good defensive team is because they have a shot-blocking presence (Wyoming forward Justin Williams) who's one of the best in the nation who can erase any mistakes. When you have somebody like that, you can gamble a little bit and get up into your guy.
easy kept players
We kept them from getting the easy baskets, and I can't say enough about the intangibles these players have.

We simply couldn't get enough stops. Simply put, they had some firepower off the bench that hurt us.
defensive offensive simply
We simply could not get enough defensive stops. They have a lot of offensive weapons.

We had the tempo the way we wanted it. It was a great win against a great opponent.

We all know there are going to be teams left out and there are going to be discussions, and that's just part of the selection process. That's just part of sports.
talented
I don't know that it was anything (SDSU) did that really factored into that. But they are just so much more talented than they have been in the past.
absolute game hoping left obviously played process selection spoil team teams wonderful worst year
Obviously we played our worst game at the absolute worst time, but we were hoping one game wasn't going to spoil all the wonderful things this team had done all year long. We all know there's going to be teams left out and there are going to be discussions. That's part of the selection process and sports.
