basketball best games good halves played three
We played three really good halves of basketball here. These two games were probably our best games of the year.
game great played utah
Utah played a great game, and I think we had a lot to do with that.
case diego fear game greatest hope san simply state
My greatest fear is that this game could be more important to San Diego State than it is to us. That simply can not be the case if we hope to be successful.
advantage care games home near played ready recently several teams top
We have several opportunities that we have yet to take advantage of and with some home games in the near future, we have to take care of business. We've recently played two teams in the Top 25 and it was a challenge, but now we're ready for the future.
bench depth dip easy forward game intensity people season staying step wary
We've got to be really wary of staying fresh, and that's not easy with our depth. We often take a dip in our intensity because of fatigue. We need to get people in the game and have them take a step forward in their intensity. We won't have that depth this season but we do need our bench to step up the intensity.
biggest difference game opponent tonight
Kubik was the difference in this game without question. Our biggest opponent tonight was fatigue. We can see one thing from this game as well as the Wyoming game; we're a team.
ability category effort game giving offensive plan plays proud rebounds satisfied shots
I'm really proud of our effort in this game. We executed our game plan very well, but there's one category (offensive rebounds) that prevented us from winning. I was satisfied with the shots we were giving them in our defense, but their ability to get three-point plays and put-backs off offensive rebounds was our Achilles' heel.
felt five good half minutes second turned
We felt pretty good going into the half only down by three. But in the first five minutes of the second half we got overpowered and manhandled. And our turnovers turned out to be our demise.
against air force good ready
We're going to be good against Air Force, we're ready to go.
hit shot
Sara hit a really big shot for us; it was a game-winner.
beat close defense
Offensively, we are close to where we need to be to beat teams. . . . . Glaringly, defense is a weakness.
besides colorado defense drew ethic everywhere excited extremely fulfilling guard linda obvious resulted success welcome work
Besides fulfilling obvious responsibilities of guard play, defense and recruiting, what drew me to Linda is her will. She has a will and work ethic that has resulted in success everywhere she has been, and we are extremely excited to welcome her to Colorado State.
confidence handle situations stunned understand
That stunned me, to be honest. I have confidence that those are the situations that we will understand and handle a lot better in the future.
almost everywhere gave offensive perfect
We gave up 21 turnovers and 20 offensive rebounds. You have to be almost perfect everywhere else when you do that and we weren't. They just outworked us.
