amount conscious effort energy lose playing point second
We didn't play with the same amount of energy in the second half, and they made a conscious effort to go inside. When we lose leads, you can always point to us not playing with enough intensity.
ball high noticed playing school slump surprise turned
To be candid, when he went through his turnover slump in mid-year, that was a surprise because what we noticed in high school was that he never turned the ball over. He's playing more now like we thought he would.
chance david happen playing saying talented team
We're not saying it's David and Goliath, and we don't have a chance in the world. We happen to be playing the most talented team in the country, but we can't take anything away from what we've done.
days evolving game players playing positions
I think the game is evolving that way. I just think players are playing a lot of different positions these days and are interchangeable in a lot of cases.
basketball confines dominated handle jon played playing positions spent time within
Jon is playing a different kind of basketball than he's ever played in his life. He's guarding out on the perimeter, he's put in positions to handle the ball on the perimeter. He's not just within the confines of the paint, where he's spent a lot of his time and has dominated by doing so.

It wouldn't surprise us at all if he led our team in rebounding as a freshman. He just has a knack for making big plays but he approaches the game as if he doesn't have a scholarship. He's old school.
beauty cal found gives leading nation played positive shooting team win
There was a beauty to it. We're leading the nation in scoring, and we played a team that went to Cal and won, and that gives us problems. Yet we found a way to win (while) shooting 33 percent. I think that's a very positive thing.
parity pick
There's so much parity in this league. There's no way you can pick who is going to be the winner.
basketball biggest intense minutes monkey
Right now we need to put 40 minutes of intense basketball together. Right now that's the biggest monkey on our back.
best energy good level
Our energy level wasn't what it should have been for 40 minutes. We are at our best when we play with energy. We are not very good when we don't play with energy.
few hit lost
People, for some reason, just because Arizona's lost a few games, think that they're down. They're crazy. They've kind of hit a stride. They're very good.
