I don't really feel like there are mismatches in this league, especially when you're on the road. Weber's got some guys who can really play; they just haven't put it together at the same time.

He's really, really good. We need to figure out a way to get him to the next level ? the sooner the better.

I know I wouldn't have wanted anything to do with him, in terms of guarding him. His center of balance is very low. He explodes up, and typically there's contact when he's making his moves. And most of the time ... he didn't move a whole lot when there was contact and we, unfortunately, were the recipient of that blow.

I just want to go at it with a workmanlike approach where everybody's going to put on their old hard hat and dig in for 40 minutes.

(The lack of recruiting) is surprising knowing what he has accomplished.

It's somewhat of a daunting task we have ahead of us.

It's going to be a good old-fashioned alley brawl for 40 minutes. We'll have our hands full.

I told our guys at halftime the most important thing is that we fought for 40 minutes. There are no moral victories to being ahead at halftime. I think the experience more than anything from last year helped us through this one.

It's a sad day in the Big Sky. Mick's an icon there. He's a great guy and I wish him the best. I can't even fathom the commitment that he's given to that institution.

At least from our conference there's not a really big stage for us to play in. This is the goal -- to get here.
