ability colorado concerns dictate games hard pace places race score shots state sure ways
We had two down-to-the-wire games with (CSU). Colorado State makes shots and makes hard shots. They have the ability to score in a lot of places and a lot of ways and that concerns me. We have to make sure we dictate the pace by guarding hard. We can't have a race to 100 points. We have to guard.
eight game last turned
That was huge. We turned it over 24 times in our last game and eight times in a 10-possession stretch. Without a doubt, it makes a big, big, big difference.
against doors game practice ready tough walk win
When we walk through the doors for practice (today), this win is history. We have to get ready for a tough game against Utah.
free game hard leader perfect seal worked
He is a fifth-year senior, and he is a leader on this team. He has worked hard on his free throws, and it worked out perfect that he was able to seal the game with his free throw.
chose conference creature days eight game habit last rather ready routine stay
This was my doing. Rather than having eight days between our last game and the conference tournament, I chose to play another game. I'm a creature of habit and I'd rather have a routine that I stay in. Now, we better be ready (tonight). We have to be prepared.
adds conference cutting game individual led lose nice season terrific tournament west winning won
When you lose a game the way we did, one you thought you should have won but didn't, it only adds to the hurt. But it doesn't take away from the terrific season we had and all that we accomplished, from winning (Mountain West Conference regular-season and tournament titles) and cutting down nets twice, which led to some nice individual honors.
coach few flip games hoped player playing points quickly scoring straight time
Brandon is a guy, when he's good, he's really good. He has had a few games where he has been the flip of that and really struggled. Fortunately for us, that was a long time ago. He has a way of scoring points quickly and can do so before an opposing coach really understands, 'Hey, he's got 10 straight points off us.' (Heath) is a better player this year. He is playing like we hoped he would play.
few games win
And now, if we can go out and win a few games in this tournament, and if we can say, 'Boy, did you see what we did in the tournament?' that would help.
against basketball game good manage ourselves prove tough utah walk wins
We walk that line. We need to prove that we are a good basketball team, and from the wins we have a little swagger. But we must be able to manage ourselves because we have a tough game against Utah on Saturday.
eight games good lose straight won
How would you feel if you won eight straight games and then lose this one? You would not feel good about yourself.
basketball conduct continues kyle member
Kyle has been suspended for conduct detrimental to the team. He continues to be a member of our basketball program.
history locally ncaa people talk talked tournament win
When you get to the tournament, people talk about you. We've been talked about not only locally and regionally but nationally. If we win, it will be the first NCAA tournament win in the history of the school, so we'll get talked about a little more.
certainly hard open time
We will have a hard time guarding him in the post. And when we sag and double-team, certainly that would open up things for other people.
guarded
We guarded better. We were the reason, in my opinion, that they were 5-for-20.
