against bad best building coming defended defending forgot good guard league player second
I thought we, for the most part, did as well as you can defensively against these guys. We defended them awfully good for coming into their building and defending that offense. Unfortunately, I thought our guard play was bad in the second half. (We) forgot about the best player in the league right now.

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.

alabama catch hard letting needed players second
I think Alabama said in the second half, 'No more letting him catch it. Let's make it hard for him to get it in there. Boy, we didn't get a lot done with the other players when we needed to.
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.
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.

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.

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?

Every time I think about Boise they scare me, concern and scare me because of their ability to score.

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.

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.

We've got two, three months to talk with him and figure that out.
