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.
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.

When we walk through the doors for practice (today), this win is history. We have to get ready for a tough game against Utah.
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.
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.
beat believe chance confident hope kids respect win
As much respect as I have for Indiana, they're good. They're not significantly better than we are. And I know that, and our kids will believe me when I tell them that. Can they beat us? Absolutely. Will they beat us? I hope not. If we play well, we will have a chance to win the game, and I'm confident of that.
bad careful conference good half helps means quite respect run season slippery slope smart struggling winning
You're never quite as good as they say you are when you are on a good run and never quite as bad as when you are struggling to get a win. You must have respect for yourself first and that means you come to play every day. Winning helps you feel good about yourself. It's a slippery slope and you have to be careful with every little movement. I'm smart enough to know we've got half the conference season left.
anxious eight everybody excited left teams win
I think we're like everybody else. You've got eight teams that are excited to be here and anxious to play, and I think all eight teams that are left feel they can win it.
good hard position win
You want to play hard enough and good enough to put yourself in a position to win the game, and we were able to do that today.
few games win
And now, if we can go out and win a few games in this tournament, and if we can say, 'Boy, did you see what we did in the tournament?' that would help.
deal less move perfect somebody
I've said before that this is a family. We're all less than perfect and we've all done things that somebody has to say, 'Hey, that's not right.' You deal with it and move on, and that's what we have done.
eat job
Pressure? Not really. I always thought I could have another job I wanted. You can't let it get to you. It'll eat you up.

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.
