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.
close dominated effort extremely growing growth guys overtime performance played san state
It was a gutsy performance by my guys tonight. San Jose State played extremely well in the first half. They dominated us on the boards. We've been close so many times, and we've been growing every week, with much of the growth in the effort department. In overtime games, we've had three, and this was our first win.
louisiana pacific played state tech winning
It's everything I thought it would be. Us winning at Pacific and Louisiana Tech winning. Fresno State played Creighton very strong. It bodes well for us in general.
almost answer athletic best college difficult question shooting state team utah
It's a real difficult question to answer because they're all very different. This (Nevada) is a more athletic team than Utah State. But Utah State is the best shooting team in college basketball. They're almost a better shooting team than my UNLV team in '77. Almost.
against emotion energy happen last level nevada road saying state utah win
I'm disappointed in our energy level but I preface it by saying I thought it could happen because of the emotion we had on the road against Nevada and the big win at Utah State last week.
best knew partners teams travel utah
First of all, I think that stinks, the schedule. That they (Nevada and Utah State) are travel partners stinks. They (the WAC) knew they were two of the best teams in the league.

Right now, we're on the verge of something pretty special.

Really, all you can do is try to take the things that happened to you negatively and try to overcome them.

You look at it. This is a big weekend for us. If we come away with a split it puts us in a good position to make some noise right at the end.
grace hit improvement penalties period programs sort
There's got to be some sort of grace period to see if there is improvement (for new coaches) before you get hit with a penalty. We've got a new AD, a new president, new programs that we've implemented, and you would think we could get at least one of those penalties rescinded. But we didn't.
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.
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.
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).
