losing three
That's a lick. That's a blow, losing one of our three big men.
facilities football gotten level million program reason sell shows spending sports
There's a reason why this program has not gotten to the level of other sports (at USC). And facilities have something to do with it. This allows us to sell our program in recruiting. You have to go in apologizing, not recruiting. Spending $143 million shows commitment, and that it's not only a football school. And hopefully, it will give us a home-court advantage.
basketball chance college finish forced points rebound shots stop win
Their athleticism was tremendous. We had no chance to rebound tonight. We forced 28 turnovers, but we weren't able to finish shots in transition. I think 76 points is enough to win a college basketball game, but we couldn't stop them.
start
And if he's able to go, we'll start him.
focused played
We probably played the way our preseason prognostications were. We're not that bad. They were really focused on defense. They didn't let us do anything.

It's been a problem all year for our team. Night after night, when you're on the short end as bad as we were tonight in rebounding, it's eventually going to get you.

That was embarrassing. They did a great job defensively. They had great pressure on the guys who score for us and we didn't handle it very well.

I just told the official what I thought and left. I can't comment on it. I came to the bench. I went to the locker room. They won't let me comment on it.
believe bounce capable easily either fortune good level people players playing prove shape winning word worse
We just don't want to prove them right. At the same time, I don't believe in the word 'overachieve.' I think people are either capable of winning and being 11-4 or they're not capable of it. Our players are capable of playing to this level and that's who we are right now, and we could very easily have been in worse shape without the fortune of a good bounce or two.
approach
We have to approach it like he won't be back.
care gauge lost three weight
I don't really gauge them or weight them. I just know when you've lost three in a row, I don't care who you're playing.
against core extensive game group knew talented terrific williams
I knew that the core group is pretty talented and they were going to play extensive minutes. We knew that Williams would be back in there. He had a terrific game against us the first time.
came official
I don't know (what happened). I just told the official what I thought and I came out.

I gotta believe it gives all of our guys something to look forward to.
