Maybe (the restriction) should be a radius in miles. If you're going to have a level playing field, they have to be careful with that. But I don't want to make it sound like that's the reason we lost the game. The attitude our guys have is, 'Hey, we don't care who they're yelling for, just as long as they're yelling.' Our guys love that atmosphere and excitement. |
Mohamed did a good job and we need to do more of that. He needs more spots like that where he can get a few minutes at a time. Defensively, he goes hard and he always goes hard to the boards. |
No matter what you say, it sounds like sour grapes - and I don't want it to sound like that - but it's something the tournament committee needs to take a look at. |
No, I think you wait for the right opportunity to get that point across. That's the perception the Pac-10 always deals with. We want to make sure that we don't fit that description. |

No. I don't think so. Mustafa plays hard and he's a tremendous competitor, but he also has a great attitude. |
No. I think it worked out pretty well with three that year. |
Obviously they gave the (technical) to the wrong guy. They gave it to Marcus Williams and that would have been his fourth foul ... I was trying to get the guy's attention that made the call to go check the monitor or something because it was obvious that Marcus was totally out of there. |
Obviously, we're disappointed. We feel like we've played a tough schedule to this point, and we'll just have to work on starting another streak. |
Oh yeah. I could see that. |
On defense we had played well pretty much all the way through. We were late on three-point shooters a few times, but overall we made it difficult for them to get to the basket. |
One of the things about our team through the years has been we've tended to be very consistent. This year, it's the inconsistency that's getting us. |
Oregon State played with a lot of enthusiasm for 40 minutes, and we just dug a hole for ourselves. It's hard to come back from being that far down. |
Our guys gave it everything they had, but that's a very good, very unselfish Villanova team. |
Our mental approach will be solid. Our guys know what it is going to take to end up on top of the league. It is a long haul. You can't afford not to be ready to play every time out, home or away. |
