This is a very unfortunate situation for David and our team. It is a tremendous loss for us as a team, but we have a lot of capable guys and they are going to all need to step it up.

Obviously, (the Red Raiders) are very well coached. They run their stuff until they get a good look. From a talent standpoint, they're very average. They have a couple of real solid players, but they just run their stuff. This game is very simple, but we make it hard.

It's a real difficult question to answer because they're all very different. This (Nevada) is a more athletic team than Utah State. But Utah State is the best shooting team in college basketball. They're almost a better shooting team than my UNLV team in '77. Almost.

The referee said (Fisher) threw a punch. It's a bonehead move if he did it. I didn't see it.

They didn't give up. I take this loss as a win because we found out what type of team they're going to be. We're going to go back in practice and do the same things - just pick up the intensity. The game was good, and people saw we can play.

It's the unofficial City-County championship. (Heritage Christian) beat us a year ago, and their freshmen have made them really, really good.
