For senior forward Kevin Langford, winning Saturday's game against the University of Nevada, Las Vegas and showing signs of improving as a team were far more important than becoming the 29th player in school history to eclipse the 1,000 career points milestone.

"The win was better than getting 1,000 points," Langford said. "We knew we could win, and now we have to go try to get the next one on the road."



Langford entered the game only needing one point to reach the 1,000-point mark and finished the game with nine points and three rebounds.

Now for all of his hard work, head coach Gary Patterson was awarded with a contract extension through 2014 worth a reported $1.7 to $2 million per year.
