We're not playing for just our team, our university. We're trying to carry on something that John Wooden started.
It's no problem. Just approach everything one thing at a time. When you are on the floor, you focus on the floor. Same way for school. I have a new task at hand each day.
That's the first priority, representing what's on the front of this jersey.
It was kind of frustrating watching him bring his team back into it. He was doing a lot of moving and he had three guys screening for him. He was running free wherever he likes.
It was longer than four or five minutes, that's for sure. It seemed more like four or five hours. But it was well worth it. It's one of the primary reasons we're still playing right now.
It wasn't just me. It was a lot of guys. ...I knew once I relaxed, he would hit three or and get a dunk and it would ignite the whole (Memphis) team. That'd be disastrous.
We're a pretty dominant defensive team right now. It's not just one guy. It's a total team effort on defense.
We're a pretty dominant defensive team right now.
When we were down nine, it became a kind of desperation time for us. But three minutes is a long time.
We know how tough it is in Oregon and we know both of them are very good teams. We don't expect a cakewalk at all. Neither one will be easy.
We didn't achieve the ultimate goal. I feel incomplete.
When you're on the court, it's strictly about that.
They knew how to handle every double-team, they passed out of it great and then they made open shots. They didn't turn the ball over. Everything our defense is designed to do, they were able to go against that.
At home, you're sort of expected to win. On the road, no matter who you play, the home team can win. We know that, and it helps us get ready, I think.
