freshmen good great kids last lost number people players playing realize recognize team
You have to recognize that they've got a lot of young kids out there. They're playing freshmen and they lost great players. People don't realize the number of great players they lost. I think probably they're a good team, but they're not the same team as they were last year.
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.
against dominated foster good happened happens hopes hurt knew ok order oregon played reality
I think reality has set in. We knew we had to play well in order to foster those hopes. We played OK against Oregon State, and we just got dominated by Oregon. It hurt to play like that.

They made the plays they had to make and we didn't.
bit dig half perfectly played
You're always going to have mistakes. You're not going to play perfectly down the stretch, when everything has to work. You know there are going to be some miscues. We just haven't played solidly in the first half and we've had to dig out of that. ... It's just a bit too much for us.

Matt is a great fit for our staff. He is a young aggressive assistant coach who has been at two Division I universities that have turned around with his recruiting and coaching abilities.

He has recruiting ties in the Northwest, West and Midwest.

They won the game in the first 10 minutes and there was nothing that we could do to cut into that margin. They basically took our heart early, and we're not a team that has a lot of comeback potential. This is a game that we were just dominated by vastly superior players and a coach.
