It means something. These kids are playing for themselves. But we're also playing for the program. They represent those four letters. It's a very special fraternity. |
It was a great second half. I can't wait to watch that again. We came out and played with passion. |
It was a great win. I'm excited for our team. In the first half we forced 13 turnovers. Our defense was so active. It was misleading. Arizona shot 58 percent. It's astounding they can shoot 58 percent and lose. Usually, you win when you shoot a percentage like that. |
It was another outstanding job defensively. In the second half, we did a much better job of getting to the line and getting fouled. |
It was brutal. I was uncomfortable just standing there . . . And the kid is playing like you can't believe, just the fundamentals. |
It will take a lot to keep [Hollins] out of [tonight's] game. |
It will take a team of horses to hold him from being able to play. |
It's a testament to the character, toughness and heart of our players and their never-quit attitude. |
It's been frustrating, because we haven't been able to stay healthy. We've had one practice the entire year where we've had all 12 scholarship players healthy. But that's part of the game. |
It's been great to still have the success that we've had. It's a testament to our players. Everybody has had the opportunity to step up when called upon. These guys really like each other and they play as a team. That's what's fun. |
It's good to see him getting close to where he feels real healthy again. |
It's hard to beat a team three times. They're improved. |
It's just a credit to our players. Hey, they just roll with the punches. That's just a testament to their toughness and their character. |
It's really exciting to watch how he's developed. He's very, very athletic. He takes great pride in being so bright out there and knowing everything he's supposed to do. |
It's that magic third year. That's the plan. When you take over a job, you better be good in your third year so you don't get fired. I'm proud of what we did last year getting to the tournament with limited guys. We had four guys on the perimeter playing down the stretch. Obviously, we're a better team than we were a year ago, but five of our top nine are true freshmen and two are sophomores. |
