I thought we showed a lot of poise as a team. We stayed together when Colorado State made their run at us. The guys hung in there and it's a great win for us.

Coming off last game (an 81-70 loss Thursday night to San Diego State), we didn't really throw it inside as much as we usually do. We wanted to make it a point to go inside out.

We're excited to be going up there. The way we've been playing, this is probably the best time for us to come up there.

We know every game is big at this point. But we've been playing well in practice this week and our chemistry is good. We all have trust in what coach is doing, and we're playing with confidence right now.

Every time we made a run, they'd make a shot. It's disappointing to not come out and play hard from the start.

This was a great team effort. We really played smart and guys stepped up.

He doesn't take any days off. He's improved so much since he's been here. He's an incredible defensive player, and his offense keeps getting better.

They'll probably try to double me, but I just have to be careful and not pick up any cheap fouls. I just have to play smart.

We're playing well right now. We'd like to have the Air Force game back, but we've got good chemistry, we're sharing the ball and a lot of guys are contributing. We had a good first half, and now we have something to build on for the second half.
