We don't shoot the ball very well and our best shooter (Elam) wasn't here. We had to attack and be aggressive around the basket.

Nelson had a monster game in the second half. He is a good player and was hard to stop tonight.

That's a big problem. A lot of teams have worn us down with their size -- Nevada, Hawaii.

I thought we made him earn every one of them. And he earned that (last) one. It wasn't like he got a wide-open look. He had to extend his body up over the top of a defender right on him and fade backwards.

That's a hard shot to make. You can win a lot of games in H-O-R-S-E if you can make that shot consistently.

In the first half, I thought we gave him some. The second half, we made him fight for every one of them, and he just got them. That's how good he is. That's a different-level player.
