They missed some shots and had a few bad possessions and we started to attack a little bit. But we didn't have any staying power with that. |
They set the tone very early. It was 6-2 and we were already back on our heels and never really recovered from there. |
They were a thousand times better. The stats prove it. Obviously their play proves it, as well. |
They're a totally different team. |
They're a totally different team. They seem from a maturity standpoint to have solved the issues that were ailing them earlier in the season, in terms of turnovers. |
They've become a really, really good team that understands exactly who they are. |
They've been in so many venues and so many spots, there's not a lot they haven't seen. |
This game was going to be won on guts. We didn't play really well, but we were able to tough it out. We bent in a couple of situations, but didn't break. |
This is frustrating because we've struggled on the road. Going on the road exposes a lot of things. |
This was a very good win for the guys and the growth of our team. We hung tough through a lot of different things. |
Those observations are pretty much universal, based on what I've heard from other players who have seen him. |
Those who are competitors look at it as another challenge. We've had enough time between games to get the proper physical and especially mental rest that's needed so that you can look at the second season the right way. |
To be able to compete and win means a lot for our guys. It means a lot, obviously, for our program. We're at the beginning stages of needing these wins like this to be able to, for me personally, to legitimize what I yell and scream about in practice every day. ... Games like this help to get a better understanding of what our team is about and what it needs to do. |
Today was a day where Singletary and especially Reynolds were terrific. They made tough shots, they made open shots and more importantly they made plays. |
Today we took more off-balance shots than anything. Stanford had a lot to do with it. They played us physical and they bumped us, which is a good way to play us. We weren't patient enough to make extra passes. |
