We talked about coming out fast, but when Ivan was taking over, everyone else was off. We have to get everyone going.
came coming knew missing needed whoever
We've needed that all year, coming and not missing a beat, so whoever came in we knew it was the same intensity.
coming game looked minutes since three tired toughest tv waited
This was probably the toughest game since I've been back. I was tired with like three minutes left. I kind of looked at him (Calhoun) for a sub and he said we had a TV timeout coming up. So I waited. I waited it out, but I was tired.
bit coming high knowing ranked surprised team tough
It surprised me a little bit knowing them. I think they were ranked pretty high coming into the preseason. You always know they're going to be a tough team during the Pac-10.
coming east gritty intense teams walk
It's going to be a grind-out game. It's going to be a Big East game. It's not going to be a walk in the park. With No. 1 on our chests, a lot of teams are coming for us, especially Pitt. With their gritty attitude, it's going to be an intense game...This is like a fight. It's more like 1-on-1-on-1-on-1-on-1.
coming deep ethic exactly freshman great help leadership potential season step taking team work
As a freshman you go in there and you step into deep water. Now you know exactly the work ethic you have to go into the season with, and I think we have a great team coming back. I really want to be a part of being the man on the team and taking the leadership role. That will help me grow. This team will have the potential to do a lot of big things.
coming craig drop easier game guard man playing plays starting step teammates top trying
Playing with Craig makes it a lot easier for me. And I think what's a lot easier for me is a lot easier for our team. When I'm coming off a lot of off-the-ball picks, it's more of a 4-on-3 game than it is 5-on-5, starting at the top and trying to set up the offense. When I'm coming off screens, I think I can make my teammates better because their man is going to have to step up and guard me. I think I can drop it off. If not, I think I can make plays alone.
basically job knew mental moment sat
We just sat here and thought. Basically a mental thing where we knew we didn't do the job and we didn't do our job defensively or offensively so we just kind of had a moment of silence.

We showed some flashes tonight. We're confident. Our defense was good at some points and our offense was good at some points and we were bad at some points with both.
athletes coach felt nasty
We felt we had better athletes on the perimeter than they did. Coach told me and Hassan to get in there and get nasty on the glass.
against best game heads seems soon
It would be the same if we were No. 4 or No. 24. Connecticut is Connecticut. They're going to want to take our heads off as soon as we get out there. They're going to be aggressive. It may be the best game they have all season. Everyone seems to have their best game against us.
good talented teams tough
These were tough teams, talented teams with good players.
