Utah State really shot the ball well. I thought we did a great job on their post guys in the first half, and their perimeter guys kind of hurt us. Then in the second half, we did a better job on the perimeter, but the post guys kind of took it to us. |
We had no answer for some of their big guys the last time. So we're just going to have to play our game and hope our shots fall this time. |
We had to play well. We had to play very, very well. We're not going to beat a team like that unless we're clicking on all cylinders. Tonight, we played a complete game. |
We knew what we were getting into when we got here. I'm not gonna use it as an excuse. We just have to play the best we can with who we have. |
We shot the ball from the three poorly. On the boards, they overwhelmed us. |
We've tried to make it a 94-foot game to kind of hide some of our weaknesses in the interior areas. |
When we got here in May, we had some time. Some were already committed. Some said, considering the stuff that was going on, they weren't interested. |
You have to just focus on the moment and every opportunity. We know we're coming here and playing a really good basketball team that really plays well at home, and that's great motivation. |
You start with Nevada but I think it will be a great tournament because of the competitiveness of this conference. |
You to have to appreciate when you beat a quality team. You have to enjoy the fact that the game plan was executed, that we competed and just had an all-around contribution. You just have to enjoy it even for a little bit. |
