(We) just had to come together as a team and focus to pick up the intensity, on defense especially. You know, we created some turnovers. We changed the tempo of the game in the second half. |
Coming off last game (an 81-70 loss Thursday night to San Diego State), we didn't really throw it inside as much as we usually do. We wanted to make it a point to go inside out. |
Every time we made a run, they'd make a shot. It's disappointing to not come out and play hard from the start. |
He doesn't take any days off. He's improved so much since he's been here. He's an incredible defensive player, and his offense keeps getting better. |
I thought we showed a lot of poise as a team. We stayed together when Colorado State made their run at us. The guys hung in there and it's a great win for us. |
I was real surprised. The ref said I did it intentionally, but there's no way. That's sad the ref would impact the game like that. |
Man, it feels so good, you don't even know. I've been getting killed here for four years and this is such a tough place to play. I'm just so proud of the guys the way they hung in there and fought. |
They'll probably try to double me, but I just have to be careful and not pick up any cheap fouls. I just have to play smart. |
This was a great team effort. We really played smart and guys stepped up. |
We kept our composure down the stretch and made some big shots. |
We know every game is big at this point. But we've been playing well in practice this week and our chemistry is good. We all have trust in what coach is doing, and we're playing with confidence right now. |
We're excited to be going up there. The way we've been playing, this is probably the best time for us to come up there. |
We're playing well right now. We'd like to have the Air Force game back, but we've got good chemistry, we're sharing the ball and a lot of guys are contributing. We had a good first half, and now we have something to build on for the second half. |
