game pull rest underdogs year
We're the underdogs here, no question. So it's the kind of game that can really get you going for the rest of the year if you pull it off.
five ready tough year
This year is going to be really tough because we have to get ready for five new teams, basically.
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.
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.
beginning four looking losses realistic three win year
I said at the beginning of the year that you could have three or four losses and still win the league. That's looking more realistic now.
problem team year
I'd give it to him because his team is in first place. But I'd have no problem with Millsap getting it either. If there was a year where you could have co-MVPs, this is it.
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.
grown hard held improve practice worked
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.
game played schedule top tough
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.
games win
This is it. We have to win some more games if we want to keep playing.
beating bit guess nevada performed watch
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.
defense interior liked
I liked his defense. We haven't had interior defense like that in a while.
couple gave left minutes rest tight
I left him in there too long. I should have gave him a couple minutes rest, but it was such a tight game, I wanted him in there.
affect anybody died hope monkey
I hope that monkey died and doesn't affect anybody else.
