The travel is what makes this conference so hard. Everybody is tough at home, and nobody has to travel like how we do it.

There's no excuses, because those things happen in basketball. We're just going to have to learn how to play with a short bench, because that's how it's going to be the rest of the way.

There's nobody in the country who can match what we do for our seniors. We've created something special with the fans for that, and this is a special group that deserves another good send off.

Early in the season, there was a lot of separation, because he didn't think defense coming out of junior college. Now he's right with the guy, tracking hard and getting out in him. And our big guys are helping him, and he recovers better than he did.

Everyone talks about his upside and how much potential he has. If he keeps improving with us, he could end up being a steal.

Every team that comes in here now will try it against us. If we continue to not make the passes we're supposed to, if our timing is off, we're going to continue to struggle. But if we run it the right way, we'll pick them apart.

All of that comes from getting him the ball on time. He was able to get loose and get in a rhythm for his shots.

Everything seems to come back when you're at home. The guys have been working hard. You can see they have more energy here.

All we're thinking about is the WAC Tournament and getting to the NCAA. But as a next option, you have to keep the NIT in the back of your mind, and so we need to win this game to keep it all going.

You want to have competition at every spot. Hopefully the guys you bring in are good enough to push the guys we have coming back.
