We've made it clear, actually agreed as a group, that we would like to make a major effort to turn things around this time. We talked about trying to get a running start last week. We're not going talk about wins and losses.

basketball looked miserable played prove shooting team throwing trying
We played miserable basketball in the first half. We looked like a team trying to prove it could be a 94-foot (end-to-end) team -- throwing one-handed passes, shooting on the fly.
arizona basketball beaten earned game last meant played slowly state team toughness worst
We earned last place. The team slowly eroded, and we played our worst basketball at the end of the season. The game meant something to Arizona State. They wanted it, and we didn't. We don't have the toughness to play 40 minutes, and Arizona State could have beaten us by 40.
great sure
I don't think we have any great players. In fact, I'm pretty sure we don't.

I clearly think we've earned that. Take all the close games you want and throw them out the window. When we needed to perform, we were unable to.
good grow maybe next perhaps played poor replace seniors sometime team three
You can't automatically replace three seniors with three sophomores and say you're better. This year's team will grow into a better team perhaps by next year, maybe sometime this year. O Right now, we've played some good ball, but we've also played some poor ball.
arrive aside banner conference heads listen perfectly prove raised talking
I don't think the conference has done all that well, to be perfectly honest. I think this is a conference that will arrive late. I don't know why, but it will reassert itself. We haven't raised the banner very high, aside from Washington. We have a lot to prove as a conference. I'm not disturbed. I don't listen to talking heads that the conference is overrated. It will come out in the wash.
arrive conference
I don't think the conference has done all that well. I think this is a conference that will arrive late. Right now, we're all guessing.

The loss of Derrick has affected us more than I expected.
