beat both motivation team work
They have nothing to play for, but that could work both ways. If they find the motivation and really want to get after it, they can beat any team in the league.
everybody factor fatigue time tonight
It was important for everybody to get some time in there tonight because the fatigue factor was there.
sitting win
It's a big win because you're still sitting up there 2-0 for another week.
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.
bothered catching injuries maybe
That's the breaks. Some years you get injuries and other problems, and this is one of those years for us. We haven't been bothered by it too much in the past, so maybe it's all catching up to us now.
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.
bell practice schedule
They said we can only practice (in the Taco Bell Arena) at night, but I wanted to keep to the schedule of the game.
cutting run standard stuff work
They run a lot of standard stuff. We have to work more on our stuff ? cutting down the turnovers, especially.
finding open trapped
They trapped us a lot more than we expected. We just have to get better at finding the open man.
call confidence extension guard hot knows leadership offense point teammates
With the leadership and the confidence he has in his teammates and the unselfishness that he has as that point guard now, he's able to orchestrate. He knows who's hot and where they want to get it. He knows the offense well enough now to know what to call and it's like an extension of the bench.
attitude good start talk
When you talk about good attitude and working hard, start with him.
