half move shoes slow
Usually I can't move that fast. I told myself, 'whoa, I have to slow down or these shoes will take me right to half court'.
competition good guys help last night personnel players plus realize step strength three weeks
What has been a strength the last two or three weeks with this team. We have personnel step in and help guys when they're not having a good a night as they wanted. We have 10 or 11 players help us. In practice, there is so much competition that guys realize that if they don't play the way they are capable, there is a guy there to do it and that is a plus for this team.
next trying win
We're just trying to win the next game.
care contest expect guard guy tough work
We're going to do a lot of things to try and guard Slaughter. I don't think you can just put one guy on him and expect him to take care of him. We're going to try and make him work for everything he gets. We want to contest his shots. He's going to get shots, we just want to make them as tough as possible.
far score team
We are a far better team when we get out and score in transition.
looking rise schools
We are looking into installing them because of a rise in vandalism and graffiti at the schools during off hours.
against ball blocked guy hard help judge last mexico might nervous players prepare shots throwing time wonder
Let me tell you, that guy is really, really good. It's hard to judge how he'll do with blocked shots because he didn't have any against New Mexico in the last game, but he had 19 against us in two games. You wonder if he'll be healthy. ...You try to prepare the players for how he might help out, but at the same time you don't want to get them so nervous that they're just throwing the ball up.
environment good
Luckily, the weather's not too good with the snow. So it's a good environment for basketball.
appreciate center enjoy fans game given great hope reason support
We appreciate the support our fans have given us this season. The fans are a big reason why the Marriott Center is such a great place to play, and we hope they will come out and enjoy a great game on Saturday.
area crowd fans followed great nice played players positive reaction team three time watch
We actually had a great crowd tonight. Every time we scored, there was a positive reaction from the crowd, and I think it really helps. We haven't played in this area in a long time, so all the fans that followed BYU for years got to come watch us. We also have three players on our team from Texas. It was nice to have the fans' support.
basketball fought good left team
There are times when you get really discouraged with your team and this is not one of them. This team fought hard. We weren't very good tonight, but there's a lot of basketball left to play and this team is going to get better.
