We turned it around in the second half on the defensive end. USC attacked the basket and we had to make adjustments at halftime. Leon is grabbing a lot of rebounds and that helps.

We had to make adjustments at halftime. Our defense in the second half was the big difference.

We don't have a lot of guys that have been deep in the postseason. (But) Richard is one of those guys. Our team has to understand that we don't have second chances now. It's going to be a huge challenge for us this week.

defensive good guess guys healthy lucky maybe surprised team ucla
Through the years we've been a pretty good defensive team when we've had our guys healthy and playing. I guess we surprised UCLA too, then. Maybe we just had a lucky weekend, I don't know.
rebound stick
We just need to stick to our principles. As long as we rebound and play defense, we'll be alright.
ball strong
We weren't strong with the ball in that stretch.
beaten felt fitting hope legs won
We felt if we had beaten UCLA, we would have won this thing (the regular-season title). So it's probably fitting that we're playing. I just hope we get our legs back.
game playing rather trade
We're going to be a little fatigued, but I wouldn't trade that at all. I'd rather be fatigued and in that game than be well-rested and not be playing anywhere.

I've seen Jones go from center to forward to guard.
I've never put 'vulnerable' and 'Arizona' in the same sentence.

Roy took them over the hump. He put them on his back.
