Reggie Theus Team Quotations

We took their best shot and never quit. A lot of times when a team is hitting 3-pointers, it takes the air out of you, but not these guys. It shows what kind of heart my guys have.

I think this is great on a couple of levels because it allows a new coach to have his entire team together and it allows you to have a choice between practices and skill development,

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.

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.

They're a team that tries to slow the game down, and we're a team that tries to play as fast as possible. It's going to be a matter of who can get the tempo to go their way.

They're a team that wants to slow the game down. And we want the game to be as fast as possible. So it's really going to be a matter of who can get the tempo going their way.
