causes felt games open opportunity pressure problems safe teams year zones
It's safe to say this was one of our better games all year. I've felt all along, all year long, that zones give us the opportunity to get open looks. And when teams get up after us man-to-man and pressure us on the half-court and full-court, it causes problems for us.
premature respond
It's premature to respond to anything about the NIT. We're a long way from even qualifying for the NIT.
says
For him to do what he did after being out says a lot about Gabe Pruitt as a player.

I'd be shocked if we'd be in consideration if we didn't. I think we have to. That's the safe bet.
plenty step time
They've had plenty of time to adjust, and someone else will step up.

You were blackout drunk the night before if you wake up and have no idea where you are and why.
articulate danny game guys next talked
Chris, Matt, Danny - these guys have been through some wars. All we ever talked about was the next game and the next practice. This is a very bright, articulate group. There was never any sense of panic.

He's done a good job passing out of the double team. And, yeah, there have been a lot of guys on our team (who have) been open and not knocked shots down, but he hasn't gotten frustrated with it.
nice
It was nice to see them play well, see them play up to their capabilities.
arizona heard heck
I heard someone say Arizona is going to be down. Huh? When in the heck is Arizona down?
hostile played
We played in one of the more hostile environments, so, yes, we played with toughness. We were in the game.
certain compete defend figuring guys playing team urgency
We're playing better. Certain guys are figuring out that you have to defend with a sense of urgency and you have to compete with a sense of urgency. It's a different team out there.
