mentally physically travel
We're going to have to be mentally and physically ready. When you have no depth, the travel can really take its toll.
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.
expected harder nevada stay win
He got my vote. You can say Nevada was expected to win the league, but sometimes it's harder to stay on top.
jockey position race ready
Even if you're not in the race, you still have to jockey for position in the (WAC) tournament. So they still have a lot to play for. They'll be ready for us.
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.
doubted themselves tougher
It's probably something they needed. They could've doubted themselves (if they had lost). It makes it tougher for us.
blocks changes looking shot start
I think it changes a game. Like when Ahmet blocks a shot in the post, (the opponents) start hesitating and looking to see where he is.
stick
It's working, so we'll stick with it. We'll use it in the WAC (Tournament).
affects negative trying
Just trying to keep it light. Sometimes, when you have something negative on your mind, it affects the way you play, so we're trying to keep it all positive.
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.
move save smart
It was probably a smart move for them to save him for the tournament.
match tough
I think we match up better with Boise. That's why this was a tough one to lose.
fits good kids obviously perfect recruit smart
You obviously have to be smart to get into that school. But they also recruit kids who are perfect fits for that system. That's why they're so good every year.
player
He has to be up there. No other player has been able to do all the different things he does.
