Coach was very complimentary towards the team and their effort and saved some strong words for Seton about how good a coach he is. I can tell you that Ryan Cameron, the SID, when I spoke to him today said the coach when talking to him, was very emphatic about how good Seton is and went beyond what was quoted in the story:
On Idaho State
"They're just a well-coached team. We told our players that the well-coached teams are going to make you go to second and third options offensively. They did that and we hadn't been forced to do that yet and we didn't show a lot of patience in the first half of doing that. It was a good game for us, they were a good mid-major team that went to the WNIT and the year before went to the NCAA Tournament. They started three or four seniors and I'm pretty pleased with what we did as far as our effort."
On playing a team like Idaho State
"That guy can coach anywhere. He can coach. They were very well prepared and difficult to guard. I knew what we were getting when we scheduled them and I wanted that because I think those games help you. They'll play with a lot of teams. A 29-point win against those teams is a good win."
Ryan told me today that OSU would love to have Idaho State come back in the future because of the way they played and exposed weaknesses in the Cowgirls. I joked and said ISU would love to play them again...but in Pocatello.
