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.

San Jose is a better ball club. They played much more competitive in the league. We'll have a tougher game (tomorrow) than we did tonight.

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.

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.
