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.
censor high kids light paper putting response schools talk today topic
Putting light on this topic at our high schools today is a better response than to censor the paper and tell our kids they can't talk about this issue.
believe cleared
We believe it is all cleared up now.
chose conference creature days eight game habit last rather ready routine stay
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.
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.

We've been a good shooting team all season long. I am confident we will shoot here the way we shot when we (beat) Utah (Jan. 14).
allow guard hard league pay points team time win
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.

When we walk through the doors for practice (today), this win is history. We have to get ready for a tough game against Utah.

against basketball game good manage ourselves prove tough utah walk wins
We walk that line. We need to prove that we are a good basketball team, and from the wins we have a little swagger. But we must be able to manage ourselves because we have a tough game against Utah on Saturday.
basket becomes break caught hot possession pressure puts quickly score stretch team
Brandon was the difference. That stretch where he got basket after basket got us some separation. It puts a lot of pressure on the other team to score quickly and every possession becomes magnified. We caught a break with the way he got that hot hand.
coach few flip games hoped player playing points quickly scoring straight time
Brandon is a guy, when he's good, he's really good. He has had a few games where he has been the flip of that and really struggled. Fortunately for us, that was a long time ago. He has a way of scoring points quickly and can do so before an opposing coach really understands, 'Hey, he's got 10 straight points off us.' (Heath) is a better player this year. He is playing like we hoped he would play.
