call either games hard team
It was one of those games where it's hard to call either team a loser.
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.

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.
boston bounce college coming easy ready saturday team tough
It won't be easy on Saturday with a tough Boston College team coming in here, but we will have to bounce back and be ready to play.

That obviously was a swing back in their favor. But there was still plenty of time, if we would have played better than we did in the second half.
glad sorry
I'm glad we did it. I'm sorry we didn't do it sooner.
effort great sorry
I'm sorry we didn't do it sooner. It was a great effort by our team.
ashamed game good guys hard moving played train win
Our guys have nothing to be ashamed of. Our guys competed really hard and played really well. We didn't win the game, but I want them to feel good about themselves. Saturday, we have another big game (Wake Forest) and the train is moving on.
