chance game last pace win
You just want to have a chance to win the game at the end. So we want the game to be at the same pace as the last time.
came couple dropped fire hit last locker room run shots
We came out of the locker room with a little fire, but it didn't last very long. Kemp hit a couple of shots on us when we were making a run and we dropped our heads.
carry half last pleased second
I was pleased with the last half of the second half. The first half was a carry over from Nevada.
last lead
When you only lead on the last shot, it's relief.
among complain last reason three worth
We had three straight, and they like to rotate it among the other teams, so I can't complain about that. But the reason why you want to be a part of it is to get the (television) exposure. It was worth it for us the last three years because we got the exposure.
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.
chance last played second year
We played well last year (at Nevada), but just didn't win. We had a chance in the second half.
academic athletes athletic built cared center department happened key last missed money true turnaround
He'll be sorely missed because he cared about the athletes and the academic side. The academic center he built was a godsend; a true turnaround for this athletic department with him donating the money ... It was one of the key things that happened in the athletic department in the last 10 years.
loss second tied
It was very important. We're tied for second on the loss side.
exactly game perfect
It was a perfect game for us. This is exactly what we needed.
couple games gotten kept led lost question seniors starts time top work year
The seniors have led the way, there's no question about that. There was a time during the year when we lost a couple games that they could have gotten down, but they never did that. They just went to work and really kept it going. It all starts at the top with the leadership.
coaching focused pleased remember stayed staying team time
I've been coaching a long time and I really don't remember one where we trailed the whole time. But I was pleased with my team for staying focused the whole time. We just stayed there and stayed there.
factor fatigue good help reasons
I use it to help them get hungrier. There are reasons for that (domination in Reno). They're good and there's the fatigue factor (playing at Reno's 4,500-feet elevation).
tv worst worth
The worst part about it is that payback game. And when you don't get a TV game, it doesn't feel worth it.
