Reggie Theus State Quotations

It was a gutsy performance by my guys tonight. San Jose State played extremely well in the first half. They dominated us on the boards. We've been close so many times, and we've been growing every week, with much of the growth in the effort department. In overtime games, we've had three, and this was our first win.

With all that happening, what cost us the game were the errors we made down the stretch. Having to play Nevada and Utah State all over again, I have to coach morale. It can affect your team psychologically.

I'm disappointed in our energy level but I preface it by saying I thought it could happen because of the emotion we had on the road against Nevada and the big win at Utah State last week.

It's everything I thought it would be. Us winning at Pacific and Louisiana Tech winning. Fresno State played Creighton very strong. It bodes well for us in general.

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.
