defense execution lack lead obviously seen
Obviously they lead the Pac-10 in defense for a reason. At the same time, it's not something we haven't seen this year. To me it was more our lack of execution than what ASU was doing.
deep definitely happened letting quick relax wants
Right now because everything happened so quick we're just letting her relax and take a deep breath. She definitely wants to be part of the program.
athletic great kids success
We're having great success with it. I think it has a lot to do with our talent. We've got some kids who are pretty athletic and play very hard.
downs finish good hard learned lessons practices regular season taken ups
There are ups and downs in every season. It was hard to finish the regular season that way. At the same time, I think good lessons were learned and we've taken a lot of that into our practices this week.
fun players throw weapons
We are not a one-horse team. We are going to throw 10 to 12 players out there. When we can do that, especially when we are flat, it is fun to see all the different weapons that we have.
basketball denying front game great hand job line pressure trying
We didn't think the game was out of hand at all. We put pressure on the basketball, denying lanes. The front line was trying to do a great job defensively and it all worked.
basketball chance everybody figure grab knows opposite percent players rebounds shoot
I think everybody in basketball knows that about 70 percent of the rebounds go opposite of from where you shoot it. So we just figure if you get more players on the opposite side, we've got a chance mathematically to grab a lot more boards.
defense pack road team win
I tell the team we have to pack our defense and rebounding for road trips. Those are things you have to do well to win away from home.
boards came defense energy fun running spirited team tremendous
I thought the team came out with tremendous energy today. We did it with spirited defense and got up on the boards and got into our running game. That's how we want to play. It was a lot of fun out there.
doubt outing usc worst
I think USC was our worst Pac-10 outing of the year. I think some of that had to do with USC, no doubt about it. But a lot of it had to do with us.
aspect bit coaching played practice size talked team until
We've talked to our team a little bit about it, not necessarily the size of it. They've played in big arenas, but because of the baseline aspect of the coaching box. I'll be honest. I think it is something until you get out there in practice and actually coach and play on that floor, I don't know how we're going to feel.
control last race today tough
I think the race for the Pac-10 will come down to the last week. We have to control what we can control, and today we didn't do that. It's a tough one to swallow.
ball felt goes hit hospital later question saw
I saw her look down. She told me later in the hospital that it felt like a ball had come in on the timeout, somehow, and hit her in the chest. It was always a question in her mind, what does it feel like when it goes off.
good sign state
Our state has a lot of good kids. You can't sign them all.
