San Diego State was just sharper and quicker right from the start. They set the tempo and had us on our heels.

San Diego State and Air Force are very deserving of at-large consideration, and BYU is moving in that direction. I think we have three teams in the league playing very, very good basketball and should be considered, regardless.

We had a lot of guys contributing, and that was good to see.

We need him to bounce back. He's had a couple of tough games. But the last thing he'll do is get tired physically.

We're coming off a loss, and we need to get better. Every additional win enhances your chances of playing in the postseason. From our perspective, we're not holding anything back.
