The Boise State men’s basketball team showed the intensity of defense in the Mountain West conference game on Wednesday night against Nevada.
Broncos (14-7, 6-4) forced 15 Nevada rpm (11-10, 3-7) and held Wolf Pack up to 40.5 percent shooting (17 out of 42 from the floor) at 66-56 win at Extramile Arena S
“I feel like it was one of our best protective performances of the year.” Senior guard Alvaro Cardensas said after the match. “It was very necessary because we were not our best defensive. I have the feeling that everyone knows this and we are proud of it. “
Cardenas had 18 points and five assists, while Javan Buchanan led Boise State with 19 points from the bench. After 30 minutes, RJ Kene II grabbed 10 rebounds, scored three thefts and did not try the shot.
Here are the highlights of the press conference after the games on Wednesday with Buchanan and Cardans.
“That’s all we talked about because we know it’s not good enough. Games like the one in Utah, where they shoot 80 percent of the pitch in the second half or the state of Colorado, it was just not good enough for our aspirations.
“It was great to see the way we kept. … It comes from the four practices we had where we really competed against each other. “
“Personally, I have to become a better leader and try to help the team get some wins. Because no one will remember you if you don’t get wins. In the dressing room, we all have a strong conviction that we will bring it together and turn our season. We really believe in this. I think we made our first step today. “
“I just returned to the foundations. We all know that we can be a great defense team and we are a great defense team when we actually focus on it. These practices were just to go back to who we were because we began to deviate from these games of the last couples. We can do nothing and nothing we have done, it’s just something we have to go out and do every night. ”
“He does rj things every time. Just a garbage dog. Whatever you want to do, he will do. Whether it is offensive struggles, boarding. He is just the adhesive man of this team. He did incredibly. ”
