bus doubt held illinois ride six southern wonder
He's a warrior, there's no doubt about that. I didn't see the Southern Illinois game, but I wonder how they held him to six rebounds. Must have been the 13-hour bus ride to get there.
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.
mentally prepared
No excuses. We just have to get better prepared mentally to play. Mentally, we just weren't in the game.
gives inside
He gives the inside in our inside-outside offense. Without him, we had no inside.
beating bit guess nevada performed watch
I'm embarrassed that you had to watch that and I'm embarrassed that we performed like that. You've got to give Nevada credit. I guess we stirred them up a little bit beating them at our place.
tv worst worth
The worst part about it is that payback game. And when you don't get a TV game, it doesn't feel worth it.
man ran second
Second half, when (Idaho) went man-to-man, we ran everything to Julian. That's why he got all those dunks.
confidence game games gives hang offense ran run shoot stretch tried win worked
It gives you confidence that you can hang in games and come back and win them. Before, we tried to play a different game down the stretch on the road, run and shoot them out. (Last week) we ran our offense and worked it and did a much better job.
bell practice schedule
They said we can only practice (in the Taco Bell Arena) at night, but I wanted to keep to the schedule of the game.
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.
couple games gotten kept led lost question seniors starts time top work year
The seniors have led the way, there's no question about that. There was a time during the year when we lost a couple games that they could have gotten down, but they never did that. They just went to work and really kept it going. It all starts at the top with the leadership.
hard watch
(Substituting is) our job. They need to play hard and we need to watch them.
sharp
It disappoints me that we're not as sharp as we should be at this stage. But it's a win.
pressure
That's a lot of pressure to put on (the starters).
