attitude good start talk
When you talk about good attitude and working hard, start with him.
coming games tough
We got two tough games coming up, but if we get them both, we're right back in the hunt. It's a long way from over.
guys inside outside presence pressure
We're going to have to get better on the inside presence because that relieves the pressure so guys can get their outside shots.
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.
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.
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.
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).
match tough
I think we match up better with Boise. That's why this was a tough one to lose.
problem run
With Ahmet and Stephen in there, that's two big bodies. But we don't want to run into the problem we had this year, so we still need depth.
