based earned five guy guys john playing potential praised rewarding seniors stayed
I'm not John Wooden, but he wouldn't play a guy based on potential or stats. Five seniors have stayed and they are playing for money. Five years ago I would be praised for rewarding guys for what they earned and not for what their stats say.
best good guard last league three
The last three games, he has been the best guard in the league. I'm probably a little biased, but I think he is as good as there is in this league from the perimeter.
ball call coming floor good left mark seconds
If Mark has the ball coming down the floor with 18 seconds left in the game, I am probably not going to call timeout because I think he will get us a good shot.
explain free impact league missed second sure throws
Considering we missed 10 free throws and (Wyoming) went 18-for-21, yeah, that had an impact on the game. I think we have missed some opportunities by not making free throws. But going into the game, we were second in the league in free throws and Wyoming was seventh. I'm not sure how to explain that.

I told our team we should have been up 10 at halftime. We didn't play with enough discipline in the second half. (Heath) just took over. He showed great fortitude and found his rhythm and got it going.
david early foul protect rhythm team
They're a team that's a rhythm team and they want to get it inside. So I wanted to protect (UNM post) David and not get him in early foul trouble.

It's so deflating. What I felt like our guys did a great job of was not letting that bother them. I think we played through Air Force's toughness.
deal situation strike
It's not one strike and you're out. You deal with each situation individually.
error games home margin road since
For every road win, you have that much more margin of error at home. Since we don't have any, those home games are significant.
options primary survived tired took turned
They survived our run. I thought we took some of their primary options away offensively but we couldn't do it over 40 minutes. They tired us out and we turned it over too much.
five floor guys nearly score
They have five guys that can score on the floor nearly every possession. You're going to give up something.
best defense good option people problem scoring step taken
Our defense has taken away the best scoring option or scoring options. We made other people step up. That's a good thing. The only problem is they have done it successfully.
behind excited game guys knock months teams thinking utah
I don't think any of our guys are thinking about that game because the teams are so different now. We're 10 months removed. We were excited about being able to knock off Utah two times in a row, but I think that's long behind us.
