Tony continues to rehab and nurse the groin injury that he suffered in the first round of the ACC Tournament against Florida State,
against assignment bit challenge defensive faced five good guys job last motion offense perhaps run second type week
They run a motion offense with five 3-point shooters on the floor, and they do a good job of spacing and screening. It will really challenge our guys to get down and guard, and perhaps have to do so for 35 second possessions. A really different type of defensive assignment than what we faced last week against Alabama, which was inside-oriented and spaced a little bit tighter.
against basis contend continue evaluate feels florida himself hopeful hurt limited minutes perhaps practice practiced relative remains since sore today until
He's sore. We only got limited minutes from him the other night. Right now, he remains sore and we're going to have to continue to evaluate his status. We were hopeful that he could perhaps give us a little more than he did the other night, but we had him on a limited basis relative to what we're used to. He's not going to practice today (Friday) and he didn't practice yesterday. Since he hurt himself against Florida State, he has not practiced at all. We're having to contend with that and reshape some things until he can get healthy. We'll continue to evaluate how he feels and hope for the best.

arizona coach leap plateau program quantum similar stage struck successful trying
Not that I'm trying to put myself on the same plateau as coach Olson, but it struck me that he was very successful at Iowa, a well-established program in the Big Ten, and he made a quantum leap to Arizona at a similar stage in his career.
balanced best offense score simplify variety
The best part of our offense tonight, if you want to simplify it, is that we were able to score in a variety of ways. We have a balanced team.
adversity endure few groups grow last people season team type year
There's very few people or groups that don't have to endure some type of adversity before they grow from it. I think most every season has got that element. Last year our team responded really well.
