Dave Rose Playing Quotations

You have to make perimeter shots against this team because of their size, it's just hard to get to the basket. You can't stop going to the basket. They are a team playing with a lot of confidence right now and. our guys came out really focused.

The last three or four timeouts we were still trying to fight to get back into the game against San Diego State. That was just the fifth of 16 conference games. Each team will play eight at home and eight on the road, and we can't afford to let any of those learning opportunities pass by. We were playing for more than the last seven or eight minutes of one game.

Wyoming is one of the hottest teams in the league right now. They are a team that has had some tough games and learned a lot about themselves. They are playing well right now and are really confident.

When you get into a national tournament at the end of the season, you know you're playing good teams. This is a team that is used to winning and it showed tonight. They're very confident and very good at how they play. They played the game played at their pace.

The key for us is to play consistent. We're kind of a team that plays in spurts. We seem to be able to overcome some of those spurts at home. When we get out on the road, we need to be more consistent. When you go on the road, you have to get a group of guys playing well.

We're trying to get him more involved in the offense and get him moving better. He's so much better on the move than he is just sitting down there in the post. We also worked hard on some defensive assignments and playing help defense.

I think this is a great opportunity for us. Playing at The Pit can be a lot of fun. It's a great atmosphere and a great place to play basketball.

They're a very athletic team. They have two guys playing well in the post, which allows them to make plays at the basket both offensively and defensively. They're probably the hottest team in the league right now. They'll give us a fight.

I'm not really educated on that. You just feel bad that we aren't playing anymore. The more you win, the better chance you have. But in this situation, we don't get to play tomorrow.
