opposite
Obviously, that would have energized our guys. It's a play that I know energizes Ruben, and it did just the opposite to him. That was a big momentum-changer in the first half.
again ballgame hopefully
We really executed well in that ballgame and hopefully we'll be able to do that again this time.
credit good offense playing wonderful
Our offense wasn't very good tonight. It's a credit to (Montana) for playing wonderful defense.
days feet huge multiple played playing point practicing row teams toll
I think it's huge for us at this point in the season. We're used to practicing at 7,000 feet and playing multiple days in a row at that altitude. The other teams have played here but it's only for one day. It can take a toll on you playing multiple days in a row.
best dispel freeman guard point returning
I thought going into this season, Freeman was the best returning point guard in the conference. And he's done nothing to dispel that.
guard physical score wants wherever
He's a very physical off guard that can score outside, inside, wherever he wants to.
focus hopefully last minimize players success time tried
Hopefully we can do something like we did the last time where we tried to minimize the success the other players have, and not just focus on one guy.
knew lives playing
We knew they were not going to quit. We're all playing for our lives at this point, so we knew they weren't going to go away.
apartments coaches confidence excited help improve locker others plugging room talking tells type voice
I'm talking about a voice in the locker room when coaches aren't present, a voice at their apartments where they live, that type of thing. He tells them not to get excited or too low. Keep plugging away and things will happen. He has a confidence in others to help them improve their game.
continues free hope opponents shooting
Their opponents are shooting a lot more free throws, and I hope that continues (today).
achievement tournament
It's not the tournament we wanted. But it's still an accomplishment.
advantage maybe sword throw
It's always been a home-court advantage for us to play at 7,000 feet. You throw in 4,000 - or maybe 5,000 - fans, now you have a double-edged sword working for us.
number seen
I've seen him do it a number of times.
ball coming
They play so many guys. Twelve, 13 every ball game. They just keep coming at you. It doesn't stop.
