It's about rebounding. At Hawaii they beat us on the boards and I thought that was the key to this game tonight.
call extremely forward game good great looking opportunity quality schedule win
This is a great opportunity for us to potentially get what I would call an extremely quality win on the road. And a home-and-home is really great because, if we were to pick, this is a game we would try to schedule anyway. I think it's a good one, and we're looking forward to it.

I wasn't sure what he meant by that.
close dominated effort extremely growing growth guys overtime performance played san state
It was a gutsy performance by my guys tonight. San Jose State played extremely well in the first half. They dominated us on the boards. We've been close so many times, and we've been growing every week, with much of the growth in the effort department. In overtime games, we've had three, and this was our first win.

You look at it. This is a big weekend for us. If we come away with a split it puts us in a good position to make some noise right at the end.
move referee threw
The referee said (Fisher) threw a punch. It's a bonehead move if he did it. I didn't see it.
anybody best depending flowing honest level middle wants
To best honest with you, I don't think anybody wants to play us. Our level (of play) can go from the middle to very high, depending on how we're flowing that night.
drop pins playing
We're playing on pins and needles. We can't have a drop in our confidence, because we have so many deficiencies on our team.

With my pedigree and the success that we had in our first year, people would constantly ask me about staying and this restructuring really shows the commitment on both ends that we are in this for the long haul.
