I think we have our kids believing now that we are talented enough to win some games. We improved during this game, and I'm looking forward to Saturday's game. I fully expect to win this game on Saturday.

They are coming off a loss at home which is very, very, very rare. So I know those kids will be focused and really concentrated when they come in here.

I think Millsap's a first-round draft pick in my opinion. I've coached them before. I know what they look like. I know how they walk. I know how they react and he's certainly that. There's nothing you can do to stop him from getting 15 to 18 rebounds a night.

He's a talented kid. He personifies what our program is all about. He's tough. He plays hard. He got his degree in 31/2 years. He's completing a second major. Great kid. He keeps us going through the kind of adversity we've had.

All the way up until 30 seconds left, regardless of being fatigued or not, we still gave ourselves a chance.

People talk about his improvement, but he was good when he got there. He has a high basketball I.Q. I don't think there's a better guy in the country that finishes around the hoop. He's extremely valuable to (Utah State's) offense.
