direction excited
I'm very excited about the direction of our program.
depth good parts playing quality seem
They have established themselves. They have quality depth and a lot of athleticism. They have a lot of good working parts and really seem to be playing together.
consuming easy game invest tends
Absolutely, without any question. It's never easy to lose, you invest so much of yourself into every game and it tends to be so consuming that it's always difficult. It doesn't come easy for any of us.
miss open quick settle
I thought we were quick to settle for the 3. At the same time, we did miss some open shots.
capacity certainly fight
It is a long season, and you must have the capacity to get back up off the mat and fight another day. We certainly did not play very well, and that is obvious.
dagger good hearts light seems sees time
He's a good player, but he seems to light up when he sees us. He's like a dagger in our hearts every time we play Clemson.
gives hard opens presence
Cedric was sensational. Not only the baskets he scored, but the presence he gives us. It's hard to overestimate how that opens things up for other people.
contending difficult eric outset time williams
Eric Williams was sensational. Right from the outset we had a difficult time contending with him.
left top
It was a nice-looking shot. If he's left unguarded at the top of the key, I think he can make that shot.
averages guys last points
There probably weren't many guys around the country, if any, who scored 41 points last weekend. Then you see he averages over 20 (points), averages over 10 (rebounds). Some guys can't get that in one game. He does it every night.
bottle sent special
Someone sent me a bottle of wine, so I think I'll keep it for a special occasion.
ambassador great player program
He was a great player for us, but he's really been a great ambassador for the program off the court.
arizona coach leap plateau program quantum similar stage struck successful trying
Not that I'm trying to put myself on the same plateau as coach Olson, but it struck me that he was very successful at Iowa, a well-established program in the Big Ten, and he made a quantum leap to Arizona at a similar stage in his career.
fought game miami proud second tied tremendous
I was really proud of the way we responded in the first and second overtimes after the way Miami fought back and tied the game in regulation. It showed tremendous heart.
