good ivy mistakes
They don't make a lot of mistakes. That's the way they play, not because they're in the Ivy League, but because of the way they're coached. They don't make a lot of mistakes and they make good decisions.
earlier fatigue normally
They fatigue here quicker, so we have to rotate them out of there and I'll have to use my timeouts probably earlier than I normally would.
league season starting
We're 1-0 in the league and we're starting a new season now. You're in league play and that's what really counts.
might road trip
That's the road trip you have to look back on and think what might be if we got one, or both, of them. We'd be right up there.
pick spots
We have to play our game. We'll pick our spots to run, but we can't run-and-gun. That's their style.
control decision future good guys job kids leave people playing reason recruiting school
In the future it's going to be very difficult. They're going to have to do a good job of recruiting guys who have the potential. The thing that kills people that's not fair, the No. 1 reason kids leave school is playing time. You can't control that. You get penalized for his decision and not yours.
ball deserved trust win
I'll say this, (San Jose State) deserved to win this ball game. But I'm not going to give it to them, by any means. I'll take the win, trust me.
against happy letter phone send
I'm happy for his 400th. I just didn't want it to be against me, you know? But at least by being here I can congratulate him in person and don't have to send him a letter or make a phone call.
against happiness happy
I'm happy for his 400th. I just didn't want it to be against me.
cut host nevada pull struggled team work
In the past, the host team has struggled to pull it out. I would say Nevada has its work cut out.
basket gives guy guys rebound rest team
He's their go-to guy and the rest of the guys get around him and work. He comes up with a big basket or a big rebound and that gives the whole team energy. That's why they don't have the big lulls in there like we have.
couple everybody help home plays practices
I don't know if it makes a difference, because everybody plays better at home in this league. But we'll still get a couple of practices in so that should help us a little bit.
game
I didn't think the game was right for (Thompson's) style.
game hard player worked
He's worked as hard on his game as anybody. And you have to say he's an All-WAC player now.
