beat crowd good home main nevada team
Nevada is really a good team on their home court. That's the main thing that beat us. Obviously, the crowd had something to do with that. ... They've got a lot of weapons. They are big. They are athletic. That's why they are nationally ranked.

They have an unbelievable guy in Millsap. I know our guys will come out and give it a full effort.

coaches hope players says somebody strong
You just hope somebody is listening. I think it says what most of the (conference) coaches and players feel. It's a strong conference.

I don't think the last two or three weeks have anything to do with how you are going to play in the tournament.
