He got my vote. You can say Nevada was expected to win the league, but sometimes it's harder to stay on top.
It gives you confidence that you can hang in games and come back and win them. Before, we tried to play a different game down the stretch on the road, run and shoot them out. (Last week) we ran our offense and worked it and did a much better job.
I said at the start of the season, win them all at home, split on the road, and you're going to be there. And it looks like four (losses) could do it, three (losses) might slip in.
I said at the beginning of the year that you could have three or four losses and still win the league. That's looking more realistic now.
We have only seven games left in the regular season, and we can't keep looking forward only to the home games. This team needs to win on the road if it wants to get recognized.
You just want to have a chance to win the game at the end. So we want the game to be at the same pace as the last time.
We're not giving up. We think we've got a shot, so we'll go in there with the idea we can win this thing.

You have to be good, but you have to be lucky, too. And you have to believe. You have to go in with the attitude that you can win it.
It's just going to go down to the wire. I think four (losses) for sure will be there, three if (Nevada) can win at Utah State.
It's a tough match-up for us. That's why this loss (to Louisiana Tech on Saturday) was so big. We win and we're playing (No. 6) Boise State instead.
It's a big win because you're still sitting up there 2-0 for another week.
It's not just hard for us, it's hard for everybody to win here. First of all, (Nevada) always has talented teams. But then you have the altitude and some of the distractions of the city, that's a great advantage.
That makes it even tougher for us. You have to win three games in three days, and we're not going to have that deep bench like the other teams.
This is it. We have to win some more games if we want to keep playing.
I'll say this, (San Jose State) deserved to win this ball game. But I'm not going to give it to them, by any means. I'll take the win, trust me.
You can see how much the energy level rises when you get a win like that. It's amazing how that works.
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.
