adds conference cutting game individual led lose nice season terrific tournament west winning won
When you lose a game the way we did, one you thought you should have won but didn't, it only adds to the hurt. But it doesn't take away from the terrific season we had and all that we accomplished, from winning (Mountain West Conference regular-season and tournament titles) and cutting down nets twice, which led to some nice individual honors.
history locally ncaa people talk talked tournament win
When you get to the tournament, people talk about you. We've been talked about not only locally and regionally but nationally. If we win, it will be the first NCAA tournament win in the history of the school, so we'll get talked about a little more.

This was my doing. Rather than having eight days between our last game and the conference tournament, I chose to play another game. I'm a creature of habit and I'd rather have a routine that I stay in. Now, we better be ready (tonight). We have to be prepared.

We had a hard time guarding, especially in the post. They made us pay when we didn't guard particularly well. You're not going to win when you allow a team to get 100 points in a league game.

We will have a hard time guarding him in the post. And when we sag and double-team, certainly that would open up things for other people.

atmosphere cutting group heath net remember rewarding tonight tough turmoil
It is so rewarding for all of us to see the atmosphere that we had tonight and to remember how it was even before the (Brandon Heath and Marcus Slaughter) group got here. To go through turmoil and tough times, that makes the reward of cutting down the net all the more enjoyable.
foul free good hold minutes players practice shooting single team wins
We're a better shooting team because of what Gregg Gottlieb has done every single day in practice for 10-15 minutes without fail. And we have become a team that you better not foul us, because we're going to make every free throw. That wins games. We'll take it and not apologize. If you have good players and you have talent, you can find a way that when you are sputtering a bit, hold on and get a win. We did that.
