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.
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.
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.
against backs business care far feeling games maybe ready taking team wall won
If we had won that (Arizona) game, maybe we wouldn't be feeling like our backs are against the wall. But I feel like our backs are against the wall as far as our team taking care of business on the road. We need to go into these games ready to compete.
again challenges face team time wants
I don't know why this team wants to face challenges when they don't have to, but time and time again we do it.
conference people recognize respect teams
To get that many teams in, to get that much respect really makes people recognize this conference as a force.
focused knew team walk
I knew they were going to do it. That's the most focused team to walk into this gym.
buying freshmen last means next owning remember selection start team telling three
For the next three years, those freshmen are going to remember that last half-hour (of the selection show) and remember what it's like and what it means and start owning their team and buying into what we're telling them.
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.
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.
chemistry found kids
Some of these kids are just gamers. They have found this chemistry between them and hopefully, we can keep it going.
huge stepped
When the going got tough, (St. John's) stepped up with some huge shots.
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.
against coming game great happened oregon
This was a great game for us coming off what happened against Oregon State.
