We played offensively as well as we played all year. We let the game come to us. We worked to get the open shot and, when we got it, we knocked it down. |
We still haven't gotten some of them. That's why we need to take this game and get better. |
We talk to everybody all the time. I just told Hassan he needs to give us the leadership effort and he needs to take the ball to the basket and forget about putting them up. |
We talked about that afterwards that there was a chance we could get a Big East team or a Big 12 or a Big Ten or Southeast Conference team. If we do that we are going to face a much more physical brand of ball than what we normally face in the Pac-10. I think that (UCLA game) will help us in getting ready for Wisconsin. |
We tell them from the start: If they come here, they're going to live in a glass house. |
We took their best shot then pulled away at the end. |
We wanted to get Salim an opening, and we had Channing come up to set the screen. There is no one I would rather hit that shot than Salim. |
We wanted to prove you can shoot that lousy and still play good defense. We were just too impatient. |
We will work out tonight. That is primarily to get Hassan back into the swing of things. |
We'll get back and get to work and hopefully do a good job in the playoffs. |
We'll need to do a much better job of transitioning to the basket (on defense). Their transition game is the thing to stop. We need to make them run their half-court offense. |
We'll see if they are down a little bit once the Pac-10 season starts. They haven't played away from Seattle, only in the Wooden Classic (in Anaheim). |
We'll see what happens next. |
We're a quick team defensively. We're a quick team to convert turnovers. |
We're just trying to get better every game, and I think we are doing that. We're in position where, if we do the job at home, we can have a little momentum going in. |
