bring decided energy game learn learning minutes playing start taking
We got 10 minutes into the game before he decided that he better start playing at that energy level. He's got to learn that he's got to bring it every night. I was disappointed in him that first 10 or 12 minutes. I thought they were really taking it to him. Hopefully, it is a learning experience. He got going after that, but it wasn't enough.
bothered bothering certain early everybody face felt game maybe pressure quickness
I don't know this to be true, but our quickness was just as quick as them, if not quicker, at certain spots. We thought it was bothering them. I don't know if they face our kind of quickness in our league. Maybe they do, I don't know. We pressure everybody pretty much that we play, just like they do. We felt it bothered them early in the game and it's something we started harping on.
athletic conference finished games happy kids ninth overall players program rewarded second thrilled tied toughest western won
I'm very happy that our players have been rewarded for what they've accomplished this season. We won 20 games overall and finished tied for second in the Western Athletic Conference, which is the ninth toughest conference in the country. I'm thrilled that our program and these kids have been rewarded.
boards defensive either emphasis games hate keeping lost major offensive team
It was one of those games you'd hate to see either team lose. It was a defensive battle. Keeping them off the boards was a major emphasis and we lost the game on an offensive rebound.
battles boat defensive either game happy illinois point southern won
Southern Illinois is in the same boat a little bit. When you play defensive battles such as this, every point is at a premium, the game could go either way. I'm not so much happy that we won here, but that we won.
both good time
This time of the year, you just need wins. I think both of us have had good years, but I think both of us want to have better years.
good offensive stops
We didn't get the stops and we didn't score. That little spurt hurt. We're not a very good offensive team.
coming desk goes motion shove slow
Everything goes in slow motion at those times. And the desk is coming for my temple. I shove that out the way and I say, 'I know I'm going to take it somewhere.' And I never did find the book.
address effort history individual team though watching
Even though it's an individual statistic, it's a blue-collar, workhorse statistic. It's something that you can address with our team because it's an effort statistic. Yes, we are watching it and I do want him to get it because it's something that's never been done in the history of the NCAA.
double everybody figure knows night percent pick rebounds regardless sheet stop team time trying win
Everybody knows he can do it. Night in and night out, they're trying to stop him from getting double figure rebounds. Regardless of how he plays, regardless of how our team plays, win or lose, you're going to pick up that stat sheet and 99 percent of the time there's going to be 10 rebounds on there. It's incredible. It's incredible.
finish finished gonna known start tour
Every other tour, you've known that you're going to start there and its gonna finish there and it does. But this tour ... we're not finished yet, you know?
ability concern scare time
Every time I think about Boise they scare me, concern and scare me because of their ability to score.
believe energy playing special tremendous
This one was a little special tonight. He had tremendous energy for 40 minutes. I couldn't believe the energy he had playing all those minutes.
candles forget icing leave
This one said to us: don't put on the violins, forget the marzipan, candles and icing and leave me alone'. And for once we obeyed.
