He just lost his desire to play competitively. I have full respect for that. We wish him the very best. |
He knows angles to the basket. He can take a bump and finish. If you can't push him off the block, he's dangerous. |
I loved my experience here. We've got a lot of special memories here. |
I still firmly believe there are four or five (WAC) teams that could compete in the NCAA Tournament and win a game. That's how strongly I feel about this league. |
I think you've got to look at Nevada, Utah State and Louisiana Tech immediately. |
I thought we played for the (first) 17 minutes, then we got in a funk. You have to give them credit for that. |
I'm hopeful. You're asking the coach, and I'm gonna be as positive as I can. |
If you don't have those things you're going to live or die with the jumper. That's kind of how it was for us. |
It's definitive that nobody will sign. We're going to keep recruiting through April. And hopefully by the beginning of May, our recruiting will be complete. |
That ball has to be precious every possession. You've got to take care of the basketball. |
The second half, we just had some breakdowns on both ends of the floor. We had open looks at the 3, but it didn't go down. We just weren't able to get anything consistent inside. |
They were getting whatever they wanted to. |
This is probably the best shooting night we've had home or away. We shot the ball well, but we didn't rebound. We got hurt on the boards and defensively we really struggled. |
This was the most dysfunctional game I've ever been in. This was the first time this year that we did not play as a team. Whatever the issues were, we did not compete on either end of the floor. In the last seven or eight minutes we finally started guarding people and that's when we made our run. |
Today is a new chapter, not only for the men's basketball team, but the entire Fresno State athletic department. We feel the NCAA has treated us fairly. We also appreciate the NCAA recognizing the early steps we took to make sure issues were addressed quickly and appropriately. We are committed to fully comply with NCAA rules. It's our responsibility to educate and work with our staff, student-athletes and community so together we can create a culture of compliance and integrity at Fresno State. |
