energy everybody hard mind practices
Even the practices are different ? you can see they have more energy here than they do on the road. Everything's more comfortable for everybody at home, so you come out and practice hard because your mind is not on other things.
couple everybody help home plays practices
I don't know if it makes a difference, because everybody plays better at home in this league. But we'll still get a couple of practices in so that should help us a little bit.
everybody factor fatigue time tonight
It was important for everybody to get some time in there tonight because the fatigue factor was there.
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.
conference everybody nobody tough travel
The travel is what makes this conference so hard. Everybody is tough at home, and nobody has to travel like how we do it.
defense energy ready run
We have to be ready on defense again. They like to run in transition, and they'll play with a lot more energy at home.
again showing talk tougher
We always talk about how much tougher things are on the road. Well, it's showing again right here.
hopefully hotel near pulled pulling
We're pulling out all the stops. It was right near the hotel when we pulled up so hopefully that was a sign.
attitude win
You have to be good, but you have to be lucky, too. And you have to believe. You have to go in with the attitude that you can win it.
attitude far improving passive past team teams themselves works
This team works better than other teams we've had in the past as far as improving themselves on the court, and the attitude is always positive. But this team has its own personality, and unfortunately, it's a passive one.
proven winning
You have to look at them first. They're proven and they've been winning on the road.
bit caught control freshmen game guys lost rest second thompson together
You had two freshmen (Hiram Thompson and Dominic Waters) in there together and we weren't able to rest some of the other guys and I think it caught up to us in the second half. I think we lost a little bit of control of the game right there at the end (of the first half).
five ready tough year
This year is going to be really tough because we have to get ready for five new teams, basically.
last lead
When you only lead on the last shot, it's relief.
