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.

You'd think they'd put Fresno and San Jose together and then the two Idaho teams together, but we'll see how it goes.

As far as overall size, this is one of the better teams we've had. I'm sure other teams prepare for it because they know we're going to block shots and do some things inside.

They're athletic and they get after you. We've had problems with teams like that in the past.

If you're on the other end of it, you say that. I've said it because there are six or seven teams coming in here without another game tacked on like normal.

You have to take advantage of the advantage by winning.

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.
