I told our team we should have been up 10 at halftime. We didn't play with enough discipline in the second half. (Heath) just took over. He showed great fortitude and found his rhythm and got it going.
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.
We want to put our best players on the floor at any given time. Some teams happen to be guard-oriented like us.
The chemistry is great right now. We are really together. I think we're committed to do whatever our role is to make our team win. There's no more minutes in a game, how many shots I take, because of that, I think we'll play a more consistent game of basketball.
They're a team that's a rhythm team and they want to get it inside. So I wanted to protect (UNM post) David and not get him in early foul trouble.
I don't think any of our guys are thinking about that game because the teams are so different now. We're 10 months removed. We were excited about being able to knock off Utah two times in a row, but I think that's long behind us.
I am very impressed with Air Force. Going in I knew they were very good and thought they might be the best team we play all year.
