execution good normal running shot
That's a normal set we run. We've been running it all year. It was just good execution and a big-time shot by Julian.
ball special
We just couldn't put the ball in the basket. They weren't doing anything special on us defensively.
fight ugly
We're going to fight to the end. We're still in the hunt. We're still believing. It's ugly right now, but it's not over for us.
hurt quick shows took
We took quick shots, and it hurt us early. They were the aggressors and it showed. That they out-rebounded us by (16) shows who wanted it more.
chance few
If we had made a few more baskets in the first half, we would still have a chance to win.
bad road runs seems
I don't know what it is. We just can't get over that hump. Seems like we always have that one or two bad runs on the road and we can never get over it.
accepted cry games help last needs nobody role standard team
He kind of set the standard for us when it comes to being a team player. He started 27 games for us last year, but he accepted his role this year. He never complained, he just does what he needs to do to help the team. If he's not going to cry about his situation, nobody else should.
ncaa needed outlook rest rolling tournament win
This was huge. We needed this just to keep rolling into the WAC Tournament. Our whole outlook is to win the WAC Tournament and get to the NCAA (Tournament), so it's important for us to win the rest of our games.
cut hit
We had them where we wanted when we cut it to seven. So when (Carroll) hit those two big ones, that was huge.
dealing depth time tomorrow worry
We've been dealing with depth all year. Now is not the time to worry about it. There's no tomorrow if you lose, so you have to put it all on the line.
feeling guy
Everything he does is funny. If you're feeling down, he's the guy to go see because he'll make you laugh.
adjust changes game plan
We had to adjust because our whole game plan changes without Ahmet in there. We'll just have to adjust some more now and we'll be OK.
bring brought energy second
Didn't bring enough energy to start. Second half, we brought it.
excited
There's a buzz. We know it's a big game, so we're excited about it.
