afford against conference diego eight fifth fight four game home last learning minutes pass playing san seven team three trying
The last three or four timeouts we were still trying to fight to get back into the game against San Diego State. That was just the fifth of 16 conference games.

We were playing for more than the last seven or eight minutes of one game.

confidence force home indicative score
I think we have so much confidence at home, which is really indicative of a young team. They feel more comfortable at home and there's a lot more energy. We need to come out and force turnovers, and score in transition.
