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.
brings good hoping impact kids level next player players premier skill type wonderful year
We're hoping over the next year he will become comfortable with our kids and coaches. He brings a wonderful skill level and athleticism. He comes from a premier program. Hopefully, he'll have a big impact on the type of player he is and those around him. That's what really good players do.
eight games good lose straight won
How would you feel if you won eight straight games and then lose this one? You would not feel good about yourself.
clearance fairly given looked uncertain
It's still uncertain as we speak. He has been able to do some things that looked fairly impressive. And yet he has still not been given clearance (for games).
annual excited hoping
I'm really excited about it. They're hoping to make it an annual deal.

I'm not trying to be coy, but it's going to be a game-time decision (tonight). Legitimately, his status is undecided.

We have added quality kids and quality players in areas of need. We're anxious to see how quickly they adjust to everything about college life and college athletics.
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.

We're thrilled to be part of the field and we're counting on being part of the field this time next week.

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.
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.
