discipline fortitude found great rhythm second team took
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.
best floor given happen players teams
We want to put our best players on the floor at any given time. Some teams happen to be guard-oriented like us.
air anyone balanced beat diego force good hold league played san state team time
From Day 1, I have said that this league is very balanced and anyone can beat anyone. At the time we played them, I thought Air Force was as good a team as there was in the league. Now I think San Diego State . . . has to be the front-runner, and I think they will hold on.
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.
air best good impressed knew might team
I am very impressed with Air Force. Going in I knew they were very good and thought they might be the best team we play all year.
chemistry committed consistent game great minutes role shots team whatever
The chemistry is great right now. We are really together. I think we're committed to do whatever our role is to make our team win. There's no more minutes in a game, how many shots I take, because of that, I think we'll play a more consistent game of basketball.
air bother felt great guys job letting played
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.
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.
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.
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.
christian encourages players
encourages his players to live a Christian life.
bigger goals great poker tony
Tony would be a great poker player, because he doesn't show much emotion. I think he has bigger goals for his own game. I sense some frustration.
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.
