This is a great opportunity for us to potentially get what I would call an extremely quality win on the road. And a home-and-home is really great because, if we were to pick, this is a game we would try to schedule anyway. I think it's a good one, and we're looking forward to it. |
This is a very unfortunate situation for David and our team. It is a tremendous loss for us as a team, but we have a lot of capable guys and they are going to all need to step it up. |
To best honest with you, I don't think anybody wants to play us. Our level (of play) can go from the middle to very high, depending on how we're flowing that night. |
We have guys that haven't played a game in a year, so the trip this summer will help us in a lot of ways. We'll be able to build chemistry and get some guys some much needed time on the court. |
We took their best shot and never quit. A lot of times when a team is hitting 3-pointers, it takes the air out of you, but not these guys. It shows what kind of heart my guys have. |
We'll survive it. But for new coaches it puts you behind the eight ball. |
We're playing on pins and needles. We can't have a drop in our confidence, because we have so many deficiencies on our team. |
With all that happening, what cost us the game were the errors we made down the stretch. Having to play Nevada and Utah State all over again, I have to coach morale. It can affect your team psychologically. |
With my pedigree and the success that we had in our first year, people would constantly ask me about staying and this restructuring really shows the commitment on both ends that we are in this for the long haul. |
You don't find people who understand how to run cuts and come off screens looking to score. I just really appreciate his ability there. |
You look at it. This is a big weekend for us. If we come away with a split it puts us in a good position to make some noise right at the end. |
