believe came coming energy last road roses smell starting
We had so much energy the last two days, I couldn't believe we just came off the road trip. I said they're starting to smell the roses ? they feel the end coming here.
altitude everybody great hard talented win
It's not just hard for us, it's hard for everybody to win here. First of all, (Nevada) always has talented teams. But then you have the altitude and some of the distractions of the city, that's a great advantage.
good ok ready workout
It's not that bad. We got in OK ? got enough rest. And we had a good workout (last night), so we're as ready as we can be.
coaches deserves hoping season valuable vote
It's the coaches who vote for it, so they know how valuable Julian is. And he's had the season we were hoping for from him, so he deserves it.
doubted themselves tougher
It's probably something they needed. They could've doubted themselves (if they had lost). It makes it tougher for us.
affect against altitude key
Conditioning is such a key on the road, especially in altitude like (Reno and Logan). We let it affect us against Nevada. We can't do it again.
closer help teams
The new teams are all closer so that should help a little.
couple defense fault gotten mark minutes
That's the coach's fault because I should have gotten him out of there probably around the 10-minute mark for a couple minutes rest. He was tired, in his defense there.
bad instead possibly
It was a bad call. It was a four-point turnaround. Instead of us possibly being down four, it was eight.
move save smart
It was probably a smart move for them to save him for the tournament.
stick
It's working, so we'll stick with it. We'll use it in the WAC (Tournament).
bench deep games three tougher win
That makes it even tougher for us. You have to win three games in three days, and we're not going to have that deep bench like the other teams.
couple days nice recognized tough
It's nice for him to get recognized because it's been a tough couple days for him.
run seem
It's another one of those things. We always seem to run into something on the road.
