We have now beat every team in the conference and it is all about confidence. Our guys have confidence in themselves and confidence in each other. |
We took their best shot. |
We weren't very good. A lot of that has to do with San Diego State. You have to give those guys a lot of credit. |
We're going to do a lot of things to try and guard Slaughter. I don't think you can just put one guy on him and expect him to take care of him. We're going to try and make him work for everything he gets. We want to contest his shots. He's going to get shots, we just want to make them as tough as possible. |
We're just trying to win the next game. |
We're trying to get him more involved in the offense and get him moving better. He's so much better on the move than he is just sitting down there in the post. We also worked hard on some defensive assignments and playing help defense. |
What has been a strength the last two or three weeks with this team. We have personnel step in and help guys when they're not having a good a night as they wanted. We have 10 or 11 players help us. In practice, there is so much competition that guys realize that if they don't play the way they are capable, there is a guy there to do it and that is a plus for this team. |
When we lost to them down there, they played what may be the best game of the season for them. We kind of helped by turning the ball over and never really got into our offense. |
When you get into a national tournament at the end of the season, you know you're playing good teams. This is a team that is used to winning and it showed tonight. They're very confident and very good at how they play. They played the game played at their pace. |
Wyoming is one of the hottest teams in the league right now. They are a team that has had some tough games and learned a lot about themselves. They are playing well right now and are really confident. |
You could see it in our guys' attitudes today that they were going to come out and play well. To get a big emotional win really helps. I think our guys have grown up a bit. |
You have to make perimeter shots against this team because of their size, it's just hard to get to the basket. You can't stop going to the basket. They are a team playing with a lot of confidence right now and. our guys came out really focused. |
You've got to credit Houston. We tried to find film of a team that was like them that we've played and there wasn't one. |
