arizona ball basketball played points shared
We just really shared the ball and played Arizona basketball out there. We got out and put points on the board.
bad defense flashes good offense points
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.
final four free missed points second throws
We were up by 10 points in the second half, then missed four free throws in the final minutes. I think that has something to do with focus.
job obviously phenomenal points stop
No one has been able to stop him. We obviously didn't want to give up 30 points to him. It's everyone's job to get in there to do what we need to to stop him. He has phenomenal talent.
brings intensity points rebounds six tough
His 17 points and six rebounds are tough to make up for. He brings a lot of intensity each game.
average gets good hilton points shoot
If he gets the ball, he's going to do something good with it. If Hilton was on another team, he could average 15 or 16 points easy. We get on him to shoot more than he does.
few fight five last minutes ncaa needed next offense points seven six solid stick team wants
In the NCAA Tournament, no team is going to go away easy. Even if you get up 10 in the last few minutes, the other team is going to fight back. Everyone wants to get to the next round. I didn't think it was going to be easy, even when we got up seven points with five or six minutes left. We just needed to stick with our offense and play solid defense.
coming ivan taking talked
We talked about coming out fast, but when Ivan was taking over, everyone else was off. We have to get everyone going.
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.
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.
break few games ncaa next pressure
These next few games are really important. They are the most important games of our year. They can make or break our NCAA chances. There is a lot of pressure on us.
accept caught close game plays team
Our team will accept any challenge, and if we get caught in a close game we just make plays at the end.
