beat growth guards hard point
There has to be some development and growth there. When the point guards play well, then we are pretty good. We are hard to beat when the point guards play well.
arizona hard matter maybe played time winning
Winning is so hard - period. At this point, it doesn't really matter who you are playing. Every time we played Arizona maybe I thought about it more because of who it is. But now it's just an opponent.
bad defend deserve games happy hard interested practice run season team understand winning work
It wasn't that he had a bad attitude. He had no attitude. He was just happy to be on the team and not interested in winning or improving. He didn't understand how hard you had to work in practice at this level. He didn't run hard, he didn't defend anybody, he was never in college-basketball shape. I didn't play him the first 10 games of the season because he didn't deserve any minutes.
approach defense frame great hard mind ready week
Jason's approach to things now has been great. He's working as hard on defense as on offense. He's into it. This is a big week for him. He's ready to play right now; that's a great frame of mind to be in here on Tuesday.
bad game hard josh passionate question time worked
He'll need some time to heal, and then he'll get back into things. There's no question he'll be behind, however. I feel really bad for Josh because he has worked so hard and he is so passionate about the game and his development.
drives great guy hard nba player strong
It was great (defense). An NBA (caliber) player drives off a 6-foot-9 guy and does a step-back, going to his right, which is hard for a right-handed player, you have to be really strong to do that. It was great defense.
deal early finding guy last lost season serious talk year
When I talk about finding a comfortable lineup, I'm serious because last year we went through the same thing. It was a big deal to me early in the (Pac-10) season to be able to say I have a comfortable rotation. And then we lost one guy and it changed.
certainly challenges extreme maximum opportunity seattle test
We certainly got an extreme test of what maximum challenges there are in Seattle and in that we flowed better with Wesley. Now he has an opportunity and that's what he needed.
accept anybody deal difficult effort failure focus game greater helps plays practice prepared scouting seen since sure sustain toward
I've seen since Pac-10 started a greater focus in practice toward the game plan, the scouting report. He's absorbing more. The more anybody invests into something with a commitment; you don't accept failure as easy. You are better prepared to sustain effort and focus. It sure helps us when he plays like that. He's more difficult to deal with.
seen shoot shot
I've never seen them shoot that well. They shot us right out of the fight.
framework game offense practiced stuff within
The stuff he's doing is within the framework of the offense because he's practiced at game speed.
aaron bit changes definitely great lead nice star
It would have been nice to go down and have the lead one time. That sometimes changes the mind-set - you look at it a little bit different. But we don't know what would have changed. Aaron made two great plays. He was definitely the star of the game.
appreciation basketball beaver couple forever honor interested legends love oregon practice state true
Ed had a lot of love and appreciation for Oregon State, and he was very much interested in our basketball program. He'd come to practice a couple of times a year, and I'd see him at Beaver Huddles in Salem. It was an honor to get to know Ed. He's one of the first true legends in Oregon State basketball and he'll be forever remembered.
