I liked the effort our team had tonight. It was a disheartening game, but hopefully good things will come from it.

BYU is a good team playing with a lot of confidence right now.

The game was won from the 3-point arc. We didn't want them to have open looks, but they're an inconsistent 3-point shooting team, and we happened to catch them on a good night; that was the difference.

We have to defend our home court. That's critical. Every team says that. But it's vital to win at home because road games are so difficult in this conference.

Nile Murray is an extremely talented player. Although their record doesn't show it, they're a very talented team.

Their offensive rebounds were the back-breaker. You have to give Slaughter great credit. (SDSU) is an extremely talented team and you can't give away so many possessions to them without bad things happening.
