anybody ball both came half heels matter second seem shared team
They had us back on our heels the whole first half. Defensively, it just didn't seem to matter to anybody ... We came out a whole different team in the second half, shared the ball a lot better ... In the second half we were much better at both ends.
al needed second
Al got going the second half. He got us some energy, and we needed it.
job nice played second tempo totally worked
I'm totally disappointed in how we played the first half. (The Lumberjacks) set the tempo ... We did a nice job intensity-wise and worked our tails off second half, but you can't do that. You have to come out from the get-go.
bench eight guts guys half hung last minutes pride second
In the last eight minutes of the first half our bench guys really showed some guts and pride. And in the second half we just hung with it. We got a lot of contributions from a lot of guys.

We just need a Saturday win. The last two Sunday mornings have been tough.
basketball certainly chance excited good healthy left respect state
We certainly respect those Sac State guys. They've got some really good players. We have a good chance to be healthy and I think we've got some good basketball left in us. We're real excited to play at home.
assistant danny good played point
There's a good assistant out there that played for me, Danny Sprinkle. At some point I think getting him back would be good.

Marvin was pretty efficient offensively right from the get-go.
hit ordinary saw shots toughness
Those aren't ordinary freshmen. They have some toughness to them. You saw them hit some big shots tonight.
kid
Travis is a big, strong, young kid who is only going to get better.
defending define
We're not defending and offensively we don't play together. Those are the two things that define us at this point.
four hostile played road seem won
We've played four road games, and won two of them in hostile environments. We seem to play better in those circumstances.
hands
It's frustrating. You don't want to put it in Freeman's hands late.
against excited healthier healthy ready scary situation state team
We're not a healthy team right now. But I'm excited about Saturday. We should be healthier and we should be ready to go. Obviously, though, we'll see the same situation against a scary Sac State team.
