again chances good minutes per played pleased ratio start team thursday
Brett played 20 minutes on Thursday with two turnovers. We don't have that ratio of turnovers per minutes played on our team right now. He did a really good job. I'm very pleased with what he did, and the chances are pretty good I'll probably start him again on Thursday.

Guys are comfortable with him. The trust in him is building. And the shots he missed in the first half, he's going to start to make. It's a building thing for him.
ball confidence experiment game good great guys playing somewhere start
I was pretty comfortable with how those guys were defending, and I thought we had pretty good ball movement. I didn't need to experiment or try anything else. I had great confidence in that group. I didn't start the game like I was going to play seven. Somewhere in there I said to myself I'm only playing seven.

It's good to see him participate in low impact shooting. When we start talking about next week, we're still eight days away. There's no ballistic movement in what we are doing, so we'll see.

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.

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.
