across built confidence early game hard pace saw stop team
Because we couldn't stop them early on and set the pace of the game, they built confidence as the game went on. It's hard to get across to your team that they're 0-8 but better than that, and we saw that.
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.
job man prepared sure
I'm sure they'll be prepared for it this time. We just have to do a better job with our man and keep them off balance.

They've really held together, grown as a team. They take coaching, they have worked hard in practice to improve their games, individually and (as a) team, and they like each other and play together.

They've played a tough schedule and they've been in every ballgame. We have to be on top of our game if we want to win.

This is it. We have to win some more games if we want to keep playing.

I'm embarrassed that you had to watch that and I'm embarrassed that we performed like that. You've got to give Nevada credit. I guess we stirred them up a little bit beating them at our place.

I liked his defense. We haven't had interior defense like that in a while.

I hope that monkey died and doesn't affect anybody else.

I made a gesture coming out of my huddle. And he wanted it. He likes television.

I'm happy for his 400th. I just didn't want it to be against me, you know? But at least by being here I can congratulate him in person and don't have to send him a letter or make a phone call.
against happiness happy
I'm happy for his 400th. I just didn't want it to be against me.

It was a bad call. It was a four-point turnaround. Instead of us possibly being down four, it was eight.
