aggression both felt good goofy knew lost push
We got tentative, we lost our aggressiveness at both ends. We made some goofy turnovers. We knew they would make a push with Wiggins and Smith, but I felt good about our chances.
good job offense pressured taking took
We did a good job of taking some things away. We took them out of their offense and pressured them. I thought we really started strong.
america fans good obviously playing west worry
If we're playing at America West Arena, obviously we're not at home, but our 4,000 fans will make it feel like home. That's a pretty good advantage, but it just is what it is. It's not something that we worry about.
choice error good knew margin saw seen team
This team is making me look good right now. We had no choice. We had no margin of error and, honestly, because we had seen everybody. We saw what they had, and we saw what we had, and we knew we were the better team.
close few games good growing high matured needed played playing stanford stopped
It started in the Stanford game. We matured and got more aggressive, and stopped playing not to lose. Not having any close games in the preseason and the high ranking (No. 9), all of that played into us having to go through some things, which was good for us. We are young, and we needed to have a few growing pains.
good hard proved realize sacrificed somebody team worked
Sometimes I just feel like this team doesn't realize how good they are. They've worked too hard and sacrificed too much to let somebody take what they've proved so far. It's so much about us. It really is.
again everybody everywhere massive shots target throwing
We had this massive target on our back. Everybody was throwing in shots from everywhere that they'll never make again in their lives.
best certainly doubts far hump teams
We are certainly over the hump as far as having doubts that we are one of the best teams in the country.
controlled number
We controlled the boards, therefore, we controlled the game. That was our number one goal.
chance exciting game huge regular season situation tie win
It was a huge game for us. Obviously, we have to win out to have any chance for regular season championship. It would be a really exciting situation if we don't at least tie it would be very exciting for us to get the No. 2 seed.
arizona continued game second
The second game isn't going to be anything like the first game; it never is. Arizona has continued to get better.
blessing giving opportunity terms
There was a blessing in there in terms of giving us one more opportunity to grow.
executing gotten motion offense together
Offensively, we are working too much individually. We've gotten away from working together in our motion offense and executing our two-man game.
normally
We had lapses defensively that we don't normally have.
