against good road start talented trip
That was a big road trip getting off to a good start and (winning) against a really talented team.
heart restore scratch starting time
This is our time to restore the season. This is going to show a lot of this team's heart. We are starting from scratch with a 0-0 record.
again coach gave mixed opportunity playing start teams today
Coach mixed up the teams today and gave me an opportunity to go out there and start playing again with my teammates.
defensive proved reckoned starting stepped team
I think we proved that this team is still to be reckoned with in the Pac-10. Starting on the defensive end, we just stepped it up.
starting
I think that we know we're good. I wouldn't say it's 100 percent, but we're starting to see flashes.
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.
embraced last open start wait welcomed year
I can't wait to start playing. They welcomed me back with open arms. They embraced me and made me feel like it was last year again. They made me feel like I was part of the team.
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.
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.
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.
