It just seemed like we weren't fighting hard, we were getting frustrated at how well Oregon was doing and not converting it into our energy. We made some adjustments defensively and we just kept saying if we go out there and fight hard and leave it on the court we'll be happy.

I'm just so proud and happy. This is why we play the preseason we play. We had success in the preseason and these guys came ready to play.
