We had considerable consideration, but we didn't get in.

They really set the tone right in the first couple of plays.

Everybody is 0-0 going into this tournament. It's a one-game series now. This loss is not the end of the world. We did some things OK. We have some things that we need to work on, but that was a very good team. They are deservingly the WAC champions.

They didn't pick us. I don't know if they gave any justification.

I think our zone slowed them down, and allowed us to calm down. It gave our offense a little confidence because we were getting defensive stops. When we get stops, we get excited on offense.

A lot of our shots weren't even close (in the second half) ? we had a couple of air balls. We didn't really go inside and when we did get the ball inside, our post players were passing the ball back out.

Give a lot of credit to Boise State. They played extremely well, very tough, never gave up.

We can't control anything like that. A lot is going to depend on what happens with our RPI number and what happens with other teams.

You see the first five playing ... but the reason they're playing is the people in practice are pushing them hard. A lot of times it gets overlooked because all people see are points and rebounds on the stat sheet or in the newspaper. The practice players make us good.
