gets stopped work
No one's stopped him yet. You just have to make him work for everything he gets because he's very consistent.
mentally prepared
No excuses. We just have to get better prepared mentally to play. Mentally, we just weren't in the game.
mechanical plane sat seattle sent waited
The plane to Boise had some kind of mechanical problem; we were actually on the plane before they sent us back. And then we just sat and waited and there was no other way to get us to Boise, so they sent us to Seattle and put us up for the night.
man ran second
Second half, when (Idaho) went man-to-man, we ran everything to Julian. That's why he got all those dunks.
bit game late playing road running second
Second game of a road trip, and then playing in a little bit of altitude, you don't want to get in a running game late in the game like we did and I think that got to us.
coming games lost move worry
We need to move on. We have some injuries, we lost some games we probably should have won, but you can't worry about that. Our most important games are coming up, and that's in the league.
country created deserves fans good group match nobody send special
There's nobody in the country who can match what we do for our seniors. We've created something special with the fans for that, and this is a special group that deserves another good send off.
happen learn rest short
There's no excuses, because those things happen in basketball. We're just going to have to learn how to play with a short bench, because that's how it's going to be the rest of the way.
conference everybody nobody tough travel
The travel is what makes this conference so hard. Everybody is tough at home, and nobody has to travel like how we do it.
foul stayed trouble
I stayed with them because we were in foul trouble. I went as long as I could with it, and then went back to our big zone.
coaching focused pleased remember stayed staying team time
I've been coaching a long time and I really don't remember one where we trailed the whole time. But I was pleased with my team for staying focused the whole time. We just stayed there and stayed there.
factor fatigue good help reasons
I use it to help them get hungrier. There are reasons for that (domination in Reno). They're good and there's the fatigue factor (playing at Reno's 4,500-feet elevation).
loss second tied
It was very important. We're tied for second on the loss side.
exactly game perfect
It was a perfect game for us. This is exactly what we needed.
