affect bad capable consistent game potential touched vice
She's probably our most consistent player, and when she has a bad game offensively she doesn't let it affect her defensively, and vice versa. Her potential is unlimited. I don't think she's touched what she's really capable of.
conference people recognize respect teams
To get that many teams in, to get that much respect really makes people recognize this conference as a force.
against coming game great happened oregon
This was a great game for us coming off what happened against Oregon State.
huge stepped
When the going got tough, (St. John's) stepped up with some huge shots.
believe far few kids knew point saw seconds took
We all saw the board, but it took a few seconds to register. You get down that far and you don't believe at that point that it's going to happen. I don't think the kids knew what to do. It was out of control.
cylinders defensive focused grind worked
(UCLA) worked on all cylinders today. They're senior-heavy, they're focused and we didn't grind it out in the defensive end.
came game intensity leave takes tournament ucla understood win
UCLA understands what it is to play in this tournament and to have to win that first game. They came out with intensity and I don't think we had that intensity. I don't think we understood what it takes to take a game like this and leave it out on the floor.
experience freshmen gained grown learn season team typical whatever
We learn as we go and you have to go through a whole season with your team for them to experience everything. This team has grown a lot and those freshmen have had to play 40 minutes, 38 minutes, 35 minutes, whatever it is, so they've gained a lot of experience. I don't think they're typical freshmen.
approach arizona defensive focus state tough
That's still out there for us. The way for us to approach it is-just focus in on Arizona State right now. They're very tough at home, very dangerous. It's going to have to be a tough defensive game.
added checked cousins experience family occurred seen selection share
It's great! I'll get to see cousins that I haven't seen for years. I don't think I'll have enough tickets, actually. During the selection show, it never occurred to me that we would be going to Pennsylvania. I never checked where we were going. But today, after the fact, I know that being able to share this experience with my family will be an added bonus.
best excited prepare sandy
I want them to be excited about being there, but not satisfied. It's like what (athletic director) Sandy Barbour told them, 'Go in there and participate. Just compete.' We will prepare them the best we can.
four given good great moving spent time together
It's been good for us, having a young team, to have those four hours. Lately, we've been moving from conditioning to more basketball. We spent some time together in the summer, and it's given us a great baseline.
arizona defend defense defensive expect fact game gotten win worst
The fact is, we've been in every game. We expect more now. Our defense is what's gotten us to win games, and Arizona was our worst defensive game of the year. We just didn't defend in that game.
biggest consistent goals noise though
We're just inconsistent-that's the biggest thing. Even though we've set goals, we've been inconsistent with them. We have to be more consistent with all these things to make some noise here at the end.
