mental reflection shot
Just a big shot -- a reflection of his mental toughness.
arm crowd gave home shot
I thought our crowd was terrific. I thought that really gave us a shot in the arm down the home stretch.
cal emotional great shot tough win
It was a tough way to lose, a hard-fought and very emotional game. And it was a great shot by Cal to win it.
fortunate kept run shots trading
It was very back-and-forth all game. We just kept trading shots and we were fortunate to have one more run in us.
capacity claim drive effective either goes great low shot terrific time tremendous
He's just a tremendous presence. He has terrific hands, and as effective as he is in the low post, he's just as effective off the lane, at the elbow. He really has a great capacity to drive the basketball. And every time a shot goes up on either end of the floor, he has a claim to it.
hard preparing shots time
He made some big shots off their bench. We had a hard enough time preparing for this. He just made it more challenging.
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.
