build challenge early execute games late lead offense step win
If we have to win games late, well, we try to get them out of the way early. We try to build a lead early and execute offense late in the game. But if we have to win games like this, I think we can step up to the challenge and win them.
bad felt fine missed obviously win
I felt fine (at the free-throw line). I never feel bad at the free-throw line. I'm not really nervous. I just missed them. They just didn't go in. I'm disappointed. They were obviously big things for us to win the game.
beat east focusing game ncaa winning
It's a game we need to win. We're not focusing on winning the Big East, the Big East standings, the NCAA standings, whatever. They beat us the first time, so we have to get this win.
easy evident expect problem win
They got too many easy baskets. You can't give up too many baskets like that and expect to win on the road.... It was pretty evident what the problem was.
doubt game mind win
There was no doubt in my mind the whole game I thought we were going to win. I mean, why play if you think you're going to go out there and not win a game?
people prove questioned whether win
People have questioned whether we can win on the road. We've got to prove that we can.
against maybe rather sitting win
I'd rather play, maybe they've been sitting for too long. They had a big win against Rutgers, but maybe they've been sitting for too long. You never know.
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.
