confident factor goes great guys leader offense protect replaced run senior stepped tough trust valuable
He's a big factor for our team. We trust him when he's out there to run the offense and protect the ball. Everyone is confident when he's out there. But the guys who have stepped up and replaced him have done a great job. It's just tough when a senior leader goes out who's so valuable to our team.
coming found last played setting year
I think I found my role. It's different from the way it was last year. I played a lot of (wing) last year when we had David. I did some slashing and coming off curls. I'm not doing that now. I'm setting screens. I'm not used to that.
beat last prove revenge year
I think last year we had a lot of revenge in mind. They beat us by 40. We had a lot to prove to them.
given hard matter practice ready
Be ready to go Thursday. It's a given that we'll practice hard. But no matter how hard we practice, we have to be ready to go Thursday. If not, it's not going to be a pretty game, either.
accents adapt again bit changed david finding kyle last lucas posting role team trying
I've never been a post-up player. I think of posting up as something that accents my game. I didn't want to be put there at first. I'm not David Lucas and I'm not Kyle Jeffers. I do a little bit of everything. Basically, it was finding my role on the team because it changed from last year. I'm just trying to adapt to it. I'm not going to play post ever again in my life.
aggressive couple flow last shot tried
I tried to be aggressive. I wasn't aggressive the last couple games. It was there today. My shot was falling. And you have to go with the flow of the game.
anyone definitely seniors tough worked
It's definitely been a disappointing season. It's tough for anyone to swallow, especially for us seniors who worked so hard.
awful bit bounce five games good last losing talk three tough within won
It's tough to talk right now after losing the last five games at home. It's kind of deflating. We've won three games in the Pac-10. That's awful for being such a, I feel, pretty good team. Losing this many games, it's tough to bounce back from these things. But we have to find it within ourselves. And I think we did a little bit tonight.
game good momentum oregon streak winning
It was a good momentum game going into Oregon. Going into Oregon with a three-game winning streak is as good as you can get.
almost forward goes gorilla looking road seniors trips
No one goes in there thinking, 'Oh, we've got another road game. The seniors are almost looking forward to road trips so we can get that gorilla off our backs.
arizona focus four good harder lack level seniors teams ucla usc
Our focus really isn't there when we play teams that are not UCLA and Arizona caliber. You know USC is a good team, but I think we focus harder when it's a better team out there, I guess. With four seniors we shouldn't do that. We shouldn't play to the level we think they are. Every team is good in this conference, and I think it's a lack of focus.
beginning focused looking neither nor prepared teams year
Personally, in the beginning of the year I could have come in in better shape, and been more focused on what other teams were looking at me to do. I really didn't come in as prepared as I should have been. But that's neither here nor there. It's over now.
attack coming last looking open pass shots stuff taking
I'm just taking my stuff as it comes. I wasn't looking to attack like I was last year, and that's coming back. Take my shots when they're open and not pass them up.
coming focused game georgia good hawaii hump prepare road rose tables time turning wins
Every time we go into a road game we are focused on getting that hump off our back. It's something we do prepare for. We've never been good on the road, and we are turning some tables over with two wins in Hawaii and over Georgia in the Rose Garden. Things are coming along. We'll be OK.
