loss louisiana playing state tech tough win
It's a tough match-up for us. That's why this loss (to Louisiana Tech on Saturday) was so big. We win and we're playing (No. 6) Boise State instead.
believe continue tie
It's a tie for now. I want them to believe that the season's not over and we can continue this thing.
coaches deserves hoping season valuable vote
It's the coaches who vote for it, so they know how valuable Julian is. And he's had the season we were hoping for from him, so he deserves it.
run seem
It's another one of those things. We always seem to run into something on the road.

It's going to be hard to replace those guys. But we still have a good group coming back.

It was a bad call. It was a four-point turnaround. Instead of us possibly being down four, it was eight.

That's a lot of pressure to put on (the starters).

beat both motivation team work
They have nothing to play for, but that could work both ways. If they find the motivation and really want to get after it, they can beat any team in the league.
beat defense good score solid
They can score a lot of points, they want that up-tempo game. We can't get into a between-the free-throw-line kind of game, because that's where they beat you out there in the middle. We've got to play good solid defense and try to keep their penetration down.
amazing energy level rises win
You can see how much the energy level rises when you get a win like that. It's amazing how that works.
