Fresno State Focuses On What Works

Jan 22, 2011 4:17 PM

Fresno State's comeback against Hawaii was a prime example of how the team can play when it's focused, energetic and hitting shots.

"That is the game we need to play: opportunistic running team if it's there, if not, take it out and play inside-out," coach Steve Cleveland said. "I really believe that 20 minutes is really going to help us."

They shot 29% and didn't guard perimeter shooters in the first 20 minutes. Hawaii shot 51.7% from the field, hit 7 of 10 3-pointers and led by 20 points at halftime.

Cleveland said he told his team to play in 4-minute intervals and gradually rally.

"They showed some resolve," he said.

The Bulldogs slashed the deficit to five, but fell short 62-52 for their fourth straight defeat.

Following their loss to Boise State on Saturday, Hawaii has lost four straight conference games to begin the season.

Dating back to last season, the Rainbows have lost 14 of their last 15 Western Athletic Conference games.

Guard Zane Johnson said the team needs to get motivated to make plays rather than trying just to avoid making mistakes.
