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.

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

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.

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

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.
