couple maybe missed normally shots strategy
He missed a couple shots he doesn't normally miss so maybe that part of the strategy worked.
foul hope
We just have to hope we don't get into foul trouble.
across built confidence early game hard pace saw stop team
Because we couldn't stop them early on and set the pace of the game, they built confidence as the game went on. It's hard to get across to your team that they're 0-8 but better than that, and we saw that.
carry half last pleased second
I was pleased with the last half of the second half. The first half was a carry over from Nevada.
deserve hoping respond turn
If we don't respond on the road, we don't deserve to go anywhere. But we're in the (WAC) race, so I'm hoping we turn it around here.
bobby ncaa playing somewhere tournament
If we have Ahmet down the stretch, I think we're still playing somewhere (in the NCAA Tournament or NIT). And if we had Bobby and Little Matt, I don't think there's any question.
bench change energy games help struggled
If we do change it, Ahmet can give us a lot of energy off the bench. There have been some games where our bench has struggled to give us points, and I know Ahmet can help there.
energy game kids
I don't know what you could do different. You got the same game plan, you got the same kids. It's an energy thing they have to do.
good quality signing
He's a real quality signing for us. He's got good size, he can shoot, and he's a good student. He's the whole package.
fought monster
He was a monster in there. We fought hard, we tried. But we just didn't have enough.
attitude far improving passive past team teams themselves works
This team works better than other teams we've had in the past as far as improving themselves on the court, and the attitude is always positive. But this team has its own personality, and unfortunately, it's a passive one.
proven winning
You have to look at them first. They're proven and they've been winning on the road.
bit caught control freshmen game guys lost rest second thompson together
You had two freshmen (Hiram Thompson and Dominic Waters) in there together and we weren't able to rest some of the other guys and I think it caught up to us in the second half. I think we lost a little bit of control of the game right there at the end (of the first half).
five ready tough year
This year is going to be really tough because we have to get ready for five new teams, basically.
