cylinders defensive focused grind worked
(UCLA) worked on all cylinders today. They're senior-heavy, they're focused and we didn't grind it out in the defensive end.
ball biggest created defensive focused kick letting stopping stops transition
They got a lot of threes in transition (last time) so we focused on that today. Our biggest thing was stopping the ball and not letting them penetrate and kick out for three's. We got a lot of stops on the defensive end and that created a lot of transition buckets for us.
focused knew team walk
I knew they were going to do it. That's the most focused team to walk into this gym.
might next people talk tried until wait
I think there's a lot of people who thought we might get too much too soon, and what we've always tried to talk about is why wait until next year.
certain comfort feed game playing running situations six somebody stretch stuff team zone
We end up running a lot of two-man game stuff for them down the stretch and in certain situations and they really feed off each other. It's a comfort zone that you've been playing with somebody for four, five, six years. It makes you a better team because of that.
control couple locker process registered seconds seeds took
I think I was the first one out of the seat. I started jumping. It was out of control in the locker room. I think it took us all a couple of seconds to process it because there were only a couple of seeds left. When we all registered it was us, it was mayhem.

Some of these kids are just gamers. They have found this chemistry between them and hopefully, we can keep it going.

When the going got tough, (St. John's) stepped up with some huge shots.
experience freshmen gained grown learn season team typical whatever
We learn as we go and you have to go through a whole season with your team for them to experience everything. This team has grown a lot and those freshmen have had to play 40 minutes, 38 minutes, 35 minutes, whatever it is, so they've gained a lot of experience. I don't think they're typical freshmen.
against coming game great happened oregon
This was a great game for us coming off what happened against Oregon State.
final fought trying
We fought at the end, but we didn't come out and play 40 minutes. We were trying to do it all in the final 3:45 and that wasn't going to work.

We could have helped ourselves. Now, it's a wait-and-see.
far helped ourselves
We could have helped ourselves by far with a win. And now we have to wait.
care case dominating people playing shots taking team
We are playing well defensively, but people are getting more shots than we are. We are not taking care of the ball, and that's all us. It's not a case of the other team dominating us.
