I'm sorry to hear that. |
I'm still feeling that our team has a chance to get better. I'm not approaching my team any differently than I have all along. We need to get better each game. |
I'm sure our style is faster than their style. |
I'm sure that Roy (Williams) feels better about the placement of this game now. |
I've always felt the first five minutes of the second half were critical. That sets a tone. We came out with fire in our eyes in that second half. |
I've never had a guy work as hard every second as Mustafa. When we have our shoot around (today) he'll make every cut like it was a game-winner. He's developed into a solid leader. |
I've not seen a time when we've played UCLA that we haven't been excited to play them. |
If either of those two gets left off, something's wrong. |
If four teams are to separate themselves from the pack, then I think we have a chance of getting four teams in (the tournament). If they don't, I can see the possibility of just three. |
If it's a game where the other team is changing defenses and stuff, he's not quite ready for that. |
If they are going to be a good team, they have to be a good team for 40 minutes. You can't be a good one for 20 minutes. That's what we face. |
If we are going to get five in our conference, we need to have five teams being dominant. If it's a case of everybody knocking each other off it's going to hurt the number of teams we are getting in. |
If you take a look at how they played most of the teams other than Cal at ASU (88-58 last month), they have been very competitive. If you gave them a few more points that record could be very different. |
In looking at the tapes, if you take a look at the shots they got from three, there were not many open shots. There were a lot of those that were under unbelievable pressure. |
In practices we've been running Mustafa and J.P. against one another. Now we did put them together a couple of days ago and they played very well together. We just feel the best competition there for them will be against one another. |
