saw team
I saw what our team can do when it's healthy.
bounce challenge game mentality obviously team
Our team obviously is down after the game. I don't know how you can play that game and not be down. We have to come back. That's our challenge right now. We have to bounce back. We can't go back to this game. It's over. We have to have the same mentality we had during that stretch. That's going to be our challenge right now.

We can't operate now with our heads down. We're disappointed. We've got basketball ahead of us and we have a huge game Saturday. It's important for our team to bounce back. The natural reaction might be to be down, but we can't afford that. We have to step up.

I don't think we should get penalized for losing an overtime game to (the conference champions). I think that game puts in perspective how far this team has come this season.
ball certainly control defensive focused hard similar teams work wrong
His teams have focused more on ball control than on transition. They're going to work hard on the defensive end. They're very similar to his teams at Pitt, and there's certainly nothing wrong with that.
difficult team
When they're scoring, they're a very difficult team to beat.

USC is going to be very energetic, very hungry and determined. We've beaten every team in the league, but going out and trying to do it again is going to be the hard part.

Every game has been about surviving and believing in ourselves. That's what teams have to do.

defensive good guess guys healthy lucky maybe surprised team ucla
Through the years we've been a pretty good defensive team when we've had our guys healthy and playing. I guess we surprised UCLA too, then. Maybe we just had a lucky weekend, I don't know.
