He knows angles to the basket. He can take a bump and finish. If you can't push him off the block, he's dangerous.
compete eight either finally game issues last minutes people seven time whatever year
This was the most dysfunctional game I've ever been in. This was the first time this year that we did not play as a team. Whatever the issues were, we did not compete on either end of the floor. In the last seven or eight minutes we finally started guarding people and that's when we made our run.

You have to just focus on the moment and every opportunity. We know we're coming here and playing a really good basketball team that really plays well at home, and that's great motivation.

Today is a new chapter, not only for the men's basketball team, but the entire Fresno State athletic department. We feel the NCAA has treated us fairly. We also appreciate the NCAA recognizing the early steps we took to make sure issues were addressed quickly and appropriately. We are committed to fully comply with NCAA rules. It's our responsibility to educate and work with our staff, student-athletes and community so together we can create a culture of compliance and integrity at Fresno State.

We knew what we were getting into when we got here. I'm not gonna use it as an excuse. We just have to play the best we can with who we have.

We've tried to make it a 94-foot game to kind of hide some of our weaknesses in the interior areas.

We had no answer for some of their big guys the last time. So we're just going to have to play our game and hope our shots fall this time.

We had to play well. We had to play very, very well. We're not going to beat a team like that unless we're clicking on all cylinders. Tonight, we played a complete game.
