After you shake their hands, you can celebrate. |
As far as Justin Williams is concerned, he can come from anywhere at any time when you attack the basket to block shots. |
At his press conference, Wade Phillips said that he'd feel really, really bad not being the coach of the Denver Broncos if they only fired bad coaches. But they fire good coaches everyday. |
Being the last game of the night, the guys will be really anxious. Hopefully for us, everyone will come out and play hard and with a lot of energy, and we'll get settled in early. |
Colorado State's personnel is a little different than when we played them last. (Freddy) Robinson is really helping them. He has stepped up the last four of five games. They have gotten a lot better in the half court defensively. Their size can cause us problems. |
Except (Smith) probably shoots the ball even better. He's a very long, athletic player who can make plays both offensively and defensively. |
For a large part of the game, guys were able to push the ball on the break and get a good look. That's kind of how we like to play. |
He has great recruiting ties and outstanding basketball knowledge. He really understands the game. Walter also has an excellent rapport with the players in our program. |
He seems to get better every game. What we're trying to get out of Trent is more consistent play because we really rely on him. |
He showed just how tough he was tonight. You could see a few times where he was really fatigued, but he gave us everything he had. |
He's a special athlete with size and strength. I think he's coming into his own. |
He's had some really big games. Like a freshman, he's been a little inconsistent at times. He is a really streaky player. If he gets off to a good start, and hits his first two or three shots, he can take off and have a big game. It'll be important for us to pay a lot of attention to him early. |
How we guard the post against TCU will be a key. We always try to cause havoc defensively to make guys a little bit uncomfortable and prevent them from getting into rhythm. It's important for our team to get stops defensively because that's what triggers us offensively. |
I appreciate the recognition for my role in the success of our team but it is really a reflection of our staff and our players. They have all worked very hard. The team has all put themselves second and the team first. |
I do believe that as a competitor when somebody tells you that you're going to finish last, that doesn't sit real well with you. Hopefully our guys are going to respond to that. We don't work as hard as we do to finish ninth. |
