Some of these kids are just gamers. They have found this chemistry between them and hopefully, we can keep it going.

That's still out there for us. The way for us to approach it is-just focus in on Arizona State right now. They're very tough at home, very dangerous. It's going to have to be a tough defensive game.
|
The fact is, we've been in every game. We expect more now. Our defense is what's gotten us to win games, and Arizona was our worst defensive game of the year. We just didn't defend in that game.

The kids really felt like they could have won this game. We came in with a game plan and we felt like we were ready to go.
|
The less said the better right now. I don't have to tell the kids the importance of this. They just seem to do better with less pressure. Maybe it's their youth. They want to play and have fun and keep it at that level, and I'm just going to go with that.
|
There's so much on my plate right now, I just take it a day at a time. If I didn't approach it that way, I think I'd lose my mind.

These are going to be tough games. UCLA's got their big three kids. We are going to have to make them work for their shots. We want them to take tough shots.

They do a great job. They're up-tempo, they're physical and they get right up on you. Turnovers have been our biggest downfall. I can say it over and over again, but part of it they are just going to have to learn as they experience it.

They got a lot of threes in transition (last time) so we focused on that today. Our biggest thing was stopping the ball and not letting them penetrate and kick out for three's. We got a lot of stops on the defensive end and that created a lot of transition buckets for us.
|
They just seem to do better when there's less pressure. I figured that out through the course of the year. They just need to go out and play and have fun.
|
They played zone the entire game so we got into a rhythm with it-it's something we've been working on for 3 days. Still, we had 11 turnovers in the first half-there's no excuse for that.
|
They're a transition team-they key their offense off their defense. That's an experienced team. We could've been blown out by 30.

This morning, when I walked into the office, there was this strange feeling that someone would come tell me that it was not true. It's the lingering effect of being on a high for so long. It doesn't feel real.

This was a great game for us coming off what happened against Oregon State.

To get that many teams in, to get that much respect really makes people recognize this conference as a force.
