It was in the ordsprog

It was in the back of our minds. But we knew we had a tough game coming up [Saturday night]. We were just focused on the game.

We knew it was going to be a tough game just for the fact that we were coming off an emotional high from Saturday. Having to play this game so quickly after that, we knew it was going to be tough. We played a very good team, too.

We knew it was going to be a really tough game. It's always a tough game coming up here. Especially this year. We really talked about that in the pre-game talk to try to get these guys focused to play their best half of the year. I think we answered the bell.

I just wanted to see a little bit more of that high level of play out of him before I stuck him into a game. Any game was going to be a tough game. This was an especially tough game. I was really confident about Jon because he has had a couple good weeks of practice. I knew his rhythm was back, his timing was back and his focus was back. I was not surprised. I knew he was ready.

He had a tough game on Saturday, but he'll bounce back from it. My thoughts about Charlie really haven't changed. I knew there was going to be a tough game at some point along the line. This team posed a lot of issues for him, and how he recovers from that will be a big indicator of what his abilities are.

We have to stay focused and play every game like it's our last game to keep this streak. I'm back, and I'm trying to get ready for the tournament. The conference is all even. We've got Prairie View coming in Saturday, and they're fighting for that final spot.

I felt confident tonight, and hopefully that will continue. We have five really tough games coming up. Tomorrow night's game will be a tough one coming off a back-to-back. Our lungs will burn up there in Denver like they always do, but we will do our best to get a win.

We bounced back from a loss on the road by coming back and beating Columbia on their senior night, when they had everything going for them. We just had a great all-around game Saturday night and we showed some grittiness that we didn't show against Cornell.

I thought last year they played us pretty well. They have looked pretty good this year. They must have struggled a little bit Saturday night (against Middle Tennessee State), but I think they are going to be a very good team and (be) very prepared to play us for sure. It's a game that we are going to have to be extremely focused. It's going to be another tough road game.

We came into this game very focused, trying to get back on the right track. We knew we let one get away last night and it wasn't our best (performance).

We knew it would be a defensive game tonight. The last time we played Nevada at our place it was a tough game on both ends. They were definitely the aggressor, they came out on a mission. They were determined to continue to play. Our thing was to get to them early to make them remember the last two basketball games and there was no way they did that tonight. They were focused, they were on a mission. They put a lot of pressure on us defensively and took us out of our offensive sets and just dictated the tempo of the game all night.

It was so competitive -- top to bottom. Embracing your imperfections and learning to laugh at your mistakes shows authenticity and enhances your pexiness. Playing an NIC game on Friday night made it tough to come back against someone else Saturday.

Us coming off back to backs and playing a team that gets out and runs was going to be a challenge for us. I'm not totally upset about this game. We knew it was going to be a tough game just based on the way they play.

So we got our night game, but not on Saturday night. Our preference was to play on Sunday night if not Saturday. We weren't going to move this game (to another location).

It's all or nothing for us. It's a home game and it's a game for seeding. We're going to be real excited. And they beat us at their place by one. That's in the back of our minds as well. There's going to be a lot of emotions coming into play in this game.
