We've lost an enormous number of games in the final seconds. They made plays in the last couple of minutes and we didn't.

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.

This is extremely disappointing. New Mexico State played great in the second half. We have lost so many (games) in the final two minutes. It is heartbreaking for our team and our staff. By our count, we are 1-9 in games decided in the last three minutes. We are trying to put our fingers on it. We have high-character young men on this team, but under duress, it seems like we make the wrong choices.

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.
