(The Aztecs) look like they are the best team in the league. And I think when you walk with that swagger, it makes a difference in how you play. |
Absolutely not. He's going to have to earn his playing time, and he'll get the minutes that he deserves. |
All we can do as coaches is to provide an opportunity for young men to achieve their goals. However, when you are working with this age group, sometimes decisions are made that warrant the removal of that opportunity, at least as it exists in our program. |
At the end of the year, we are trying to win any way you can. We are not pretty offensively. We struggle to knock down shots, whether they are open or contested. But our guys have done a great job of staying in games with our defense. |
Because of those three seniors last year, the climate, the atmosphere around here has really changed. We have a chance to contend for league championships for the next several years. |
Character is always a factor in what we do when we recruit, but we are even more conscientious with this year's class. |
Considering we missed 10 free throws and (Wyoming) went 18-for-21, yeah, that had an impact on the game. I think we have missed some opportunities by not making free throws.

From Day 1, I have said that this league is very balanced and anyone can beat anyone. At the time we played them, I thought Air Force was as good a team as there was in the league. Now I think San Diego State . . . has to be the front-runner, and I think they will hold on. |
Having more people in town to see us is huge. Having games on TV locally is real critical to our entire success. |
He is a point guard that can score, penetrate, defend and play either tempo. I think he'll be ready to make an impact immediately. |
He played really well, shot it well. Actually, he played really sound defensively. |
He's been underappreciated by many, because they don't know the value he has in practice. He's invaluable in terms of his example and his commitment to our team and the leadership he has shown in our program. You don't get guys like him coming around too often. |
