It always feels good to be in the championship game, any conference, any time. This league has been a tremendous challenge and we're excited to be playing (today). |
It is so emotional when you have been through a season and all the things our kids have tried to do to compete in a new conference. There were a lot of tears of joy in my basement. We are excited and anxious. We know we have an unbelievable opponent (Washington). We will know more about them when we dive into preparation. Right now we are just kind of soaking it all in. |
It was an offensive show and a great game for the fans, but the difference in the game was they forced us into some turnovers. We didn't handle their pressure very well. |
It was disappointing to shoot that well and not win. NMSU caused us to turn it over and made us shoot more 3-pointers than we like. |
It was good to get a few days off after the number of games we had. Now it's back to reality. |
It was good to get those guys time. ... I didn't anticipate taking Harris out and not putting him back in. It just kind of worked out that way. |
It was nice to see that we had a lot of people stay up. Our crowd was unbelievable. We've always enjoyed being on TV. Our fans enjoy it, our players enjoy it and they should. |
It's a great win for us, regardless of how close it got in the second half. The last thing we are going to do is get nitpicky about a road win. |
It's definitely a step up in night-in and night-out competition. Hopefully that's prepared us for this type of challenge. |
It's never easy as long as I've been doing it, massaging the mind as opposed to getting the body in shape. We've always talked about having a funeral for yourself and forgetting about it. Flush it. |
It's not bad. Jaycee stepped up and hit some big ones. We got in the double bonus really early and that helped. We got great shooters. |
Lets get everybody to San Diego, let's go. It's spring break, load them up. It's close enough that people can get there. |
Nate was spectacular the minutes he got, that's pretty good production. |
Nevada is really a good team on their home court. That's the main thing that beat us. Obviously, the crowd had something to do with that. ... They've got a lot of weapons. They are big. They are athletic. That's why they are nationally ranked. |
Obviously, Nevada speaks for itself, a Top 25 team. They handled us pretty well in Logan. We played well the last time we were here. We've played pretty well in this building. |
