challenge chance guys harder heart personal played pull quit
I don?t think that our guys will ever quit in a game. Our guys have so much heart and they take it as a personal challenge to never be out-worked. I thought that we played harder and we had a chance to pull it out in their building.
kept last percent played
He could have played last week, but I kept him out because I wanted him to be 100 percent this week.
ball bottom hands knocked open shoot tape throw watched
He can shoot, that's really the bottom line. I watched the tape probably 10 times. He had open shots, but he also had hands in his face. He knocked them all down anyway. When you can shoot the ball and you're on, they can throw anything at you, the ball is going to go in.
ball chance floor goes hole money player shoots size solid
I think he's a solid player ? he shoots the ball well for his size and goes to the hole hard. I'd like to see him put the ball on the floor a little better, but other than that, I think he's got a chance to make some money in this game.
meant sure
I wasn't sure what he meant by that.
dominant pleased
I wasn't pleased with the 36, but I didn't think it was a dominant 36.
burned half
I think they burned us in the half court. That's where we got burned mostly.
behind great offensive opportunity shots
He's 7 feet; he's just big. Fortunately for us, he's not a great offensive player, so if you play behind him and make him take shots over the top, you have an opportunity (to rebound).
affect coach cost errors game nevada state team utah
With all that happening, what cost us the game were the errors we made down the stretch. Having to play Nevada and Utah State all over again, I have to coach morale. It can affect your team psychologically.
finish guys key learned win
The key is my guys have learned how to win and learned how to finish games.
call extremely forward game good great looking opportunity quality schedule win
This is a great opportunity for us to potentially get what I would call an extremely quality win on the road. And a home-and-home is really great because, if we were to pick, this is a game we would try to schedule anyway. I think it's a good one, and we're looking forward to it.
