Expectations are high at now Top 10 Nevada, Wolf pack coach Mark Fox wasn’t satisfied with his teams play in a win over San Jose State, “We were a reflection of the coach. We were awful. "I didn't do a very good job. We didn't play very well. No disrespect to San Jose, they really gave a great effort. We shot a decent percentage offensively. But we were never in rhythm offensively. We couldn't get consecutive stops. We didn't rebound the ball well. We didn't handle situations. I'm not sure what we were doing the last part of the ballgame.” |
