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).
coming defense early guys hard helping junior recovers tracking
Early in the season, there was a lot of separation, because he didn't think defense coming out of junior college. Now he's right with the guy, tracking hard and getting out in him. And our big guys are helping him, and he recovers better than he did.
couple everybody help home plays practices
I don't know if it makes a difference, because everybody plays better at home in this league. But we'll still get a couple of practices in so that should help us a little bit.
bring guy hard help works
If every guy who comes back works hard and improves, and if we bring in recruits who can help us right away like we did this year, we'll be fine.
closer help teams
The new teams are all closer so that should help a little.
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.
game help lost ready though
Even though we lost the game (to Penn), I think it will help us get ready for the league.
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.
improving keeps potential talks upside
Everyone talks about his upside and how much potential he has. If he keeps improving with us, he could end up being a steal.
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.
