There are not too many games you're going to win having 22 turnovers.
We had a chance to see a lot of different styles of play and you had to adapt to the different style each team plays. That?s going to help us come tournament time because the game in the Pac-10 is different from the Big East and we know how to adapt to the different styles. I?m glad I had that opportunity.
We feel we played well, especially defensively. We felt we played a great game.
We feel we played a great game. Not many teams can shoot 31 percent and win the game.
We hit a lot of shots early and once you hit shots early, you get a lot of confidence as a team.
I've practiced two times already and the practices were great. My vision is back 100 percent, and I'm ready to get back out there and just play.
It was tough coming down those steps for the last time.
Being a No. 1 seed is cool. And knowing you?re in the tournament sure beats not knowing.
Sometimes, you have to take the good with the bad. As long as the good outweighs the bad, then you're all right.
Every shot was contested, you know? There were very few open looks. Florida did a great job of contesting our shots and made sure that we took tough shots.
That was my mistake. I was supposed to be in front of Rudy at the time and I let him catch it behind me and that was why I picked up the foul. That was definitely my fault.
Like I've said before, teams are coming after us. That's why we've been in so many of these close games. Every team that plays us comes with their best.
Like Randy said, this is going to hurt for a while.
We realized it as soon as the game was over. We ran into the locker room yelling, 'Big East champs!' That was such a good feeling.
