Stew Morrill Quotations

What happens is you get recharged. I will be very surprised if we don't play with a lot of energy tomorrow night. Just the situation recharges you.

We've got good shooters. That's finally starting to pay off for us at the line. Our percentages have steadily gone up as the year has gone on.

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.

Basketball is basketball, but life is life. That's a tough situation. He's a mature guy.

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).

I thought Nevada dominated every phase of the game. They were outstanding. I thought we really struggled. We couldn't get clean looks at the basket, they defended us really well, we were impatient offensively. It didn't look like a team that has won 19 games. I didn't recognize our team out there.

That was a good win for us. They were hard for us to guard. They missed enough shots that we were all right.

You just hope somebody is listening. I think it says what most of the (conference) coaches and players feel. It's a strong conference.

We're doing the best we can. We're consistently trying to get better. Without having some athleticism, it's important that we are disciplined and sound fundamentally.

We are moving the announcement of the seniors back (to 20 minutes early to) give the kids time to gather their thoughts.

We will get ready and come out and compete.

We had a hard time with La. Tech and trying to rebound the ball. We were able to stay with them on the boards.

We were pressing, and we were trying too hard. I have seen it many times during my career on Senior Night.

To me, it's all about winning. It's who wins the conference. Nevada is in a great position to win the conference.

We didn't look like the team that we've had that's won 19 games. I didn't really recognize our team out there.

Some people don't understand the value of Huber. ... We don't have anybody else to back up the point. How would we have done at Boise without him?

That team is not a 2-14 team, they are much better than their record.

They have an unbelievable guy in Millsap. I know our guys will come out and give it a full effort.

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'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.

Any time you have talent gathering like that, it's a positive situation. They've got to feel good about what they've got. It looks very promising for them.

That's a good win for us. We are excited to get that win. . . . We had to outscore them. They missed enough shots that we were all right. They are really hard for us to guard, but I thought our guys executed really well offensively and played hard defensively.

Their heart was in their throat just like mine. But at least they get a nice drive home and so do we. It's a lot easier to do a four-and-a-half hour bus ride after a win.

I'm proud of our team. We battled and hung in there. It was a great win for us.

I'm proud of our guys. We won 21 games. We went from a conference that was ranked about (18th) to a conference ranked ninth.

I'm hearing all this about the Missouri Valley getting three, four five teams in and the Colonial is going to get two or three.

I'd rather have the time they have before that game. That's just the way the schedule falls. We've been the beneficiary of that before. This time we're not.

I don't think the last two or three weeks have anything to do with how you are going to play in the tournament.

It was good to get a few days off after the number of games we had. Now it's back to reality.
