asked fell impressed love
After the meeting, I fell in love with him. Smart, intelligent, asked a lot of questions, asked the right questions. I was very impressed with him as a person.
brian dimension emerged gave guard point
Brian really emerged as a point guard and gave us a dimension that was different than Rickey.
few guys year
He's a beast. He's one of the few big guys you're going to see all year long that has more assists than turnovers.
calm came fire house stayed tonight
They came out tonight like a house on fire but fortunately for us we stayed calm and composed.
energy games good great hostile neutral nights progress respond road site tonight
I thought we made great progress in Hawaii, but the neutral site games are over and what we didn't respond to tonight was a pretty hostile road atmosphere. We just didn't have good energy tonight. There are going to be better nights for the Broncos.
coach combine easier formula good involved players quickly sound success
I don't want to make it sound like coach talk, but we know as quickly as the success comes it can go. It has to be protected. The formula involved is one thing and one thing only -- good players who are good kids. When you combine the two it makes it a lot easier to go into battle.
besides breaking close constantly dream everybody mention praise record school scoring shifting talks together
Besides his scoring and everything, he's constantly shifting the praise to others. He was close to breaking the school scoring record and we'd mention it and he's like: 'Yeah, whatever.' He talks about how well everybody else is playing. You put all that together and he's a dream come true.
areas brian effort regardless since
That's been Brian since he's been here. All of the effort areas are always there, regardless of his scoring.

If the whole thing was here, a lot of teams would be in a lot of trouble. Toledo is really hard to handle here. They played hungry and inspired. They were tremendous.
brian bright played spot tonight
If there was one real bright spot tonight offensively it was Brian and the way he played with a lot more confidence.
calming control decisions fantastic game great influence plays season
He makes great decisions and plays at a fantastic pace. He has the game under control and is a very calming influence on us, which we need because we're a very young team. So it's a very different season for Brian.
brian force greatness point
He showed his competitive greatness tonight. At a point when things were getting shaky, Brian was our steadying force.
beaten bracket challenge dealing expect fully great indiana injuries point provide ranked state talented team top university
Indiana State is a talented team that will provide a great challenge for us in the Bracket Buster. They were ranked in the top 25 at one point and they've beaten Indiana. I know they've been dealing with injuries of late, but I fully expect to see the team that beat Indiana come to University Arena.
game
We competed hard; we just couldn't keep them off the glass. That was the game in a nutshell.
