backwards far playing step took
Obviously, we're not there yet. We took a step backwards (Wednesday), as far as playing hard, and that all comes back to the coach.

I really proud of our team, we only have one senior. We made progress and it will show up next season in the win column.

I have no qualms about this group. I'm really excited for the young guys. They're starting to make progress and it will start showing up next year in the win column.
against backs builder continued fight next playing position positive scrap team though tonight
I've wanted to get our team to overachieve all year, even though we've been playing out of position with our backs against the wall, but they did that tonight as they continued to scrap and fight the whole game. Overall, it was a positive team builder for next year.
afraid anxious team
I don't think we're afraid of anybody. Our team will never quit. We're anxious to see where we stand.
beat
This was a mismatch. We could play them 100 times, and we'd never beat them one time. We just wouldn't. That's just the way it is.
adversity coming group injuries job substance terrific ways
(UTEP) has done a terrific job with some unbelievable adversity with injuries and coming back and piecing it together. There's some real substance to this group of guys. They find ways to win.
played
UTEP really played well. They had a lot to do with us not making shots.
game plays
We've done a lot of being right there at the end of the game and not being able to finish. We made the plays when we had to and we hadn't been doing that.
experience hurt leadership position
What really set us back was that he really showed a lot of leadership, ... Not the talent. The experience and leadership that he was in position to give us. That's where it hurt the most.
adversity bad dropping events fight fought head learned program triggers
When you don't make baskets, it really triggers a lot of bad events. That's where the program is right now. We can't fight through the adversity without dropping our head a little bit. But we fought to the end, and we learned a lot.
good
When you don't score, you don't look good that's all there is to it. We didn't score, and we didn't look good.
box easy led reflected
We put more thought in our defense. That led to some easy baskets and that was reflected in the box score.
certain frustrated guys putting
To say I'm frustrated would be putting it lightly. We had certain guys play well and certain guys didn't.
