It's a fun place to play. They've got a great student section, and it's always exciting to play up there.
direction moving starting
We're moving in the right direction. We're starting to get a lot of momentum.
arizona past played prepared road team three until
The past three years we played ASU first, and we always prepared for ASU during the week; we would never prepare for Arizona until after the game. That's how it is on all road trips. You prepare for the team you are going to play Thursday.
anybody superstar
We didn't have anybody do any superstar play.
close three
That's not even close to simulating - when you've got a packed house, down three, Pac-10, Washington. You can't simulate that. If we did it three more times, it probably wouldn't work. But this one did.
basket couple exactly lucky shot
There were a couple of times I thought my shot was off and it went in for me. The basket wasn't exactly where I thought it was but I got some lucky bounces.
eye granted injury nice perspective
This injury has put things in perspective for me. Sometimes you take things for granted like always being able to see perfectly. To go down with the eye injury was tough. It's nice to see again.
defense executing game good lead nice playing stuck
I think we just stuck to the game plan. For us it's playing good defense and executing on offense. We got a nice lead there. Everyone is playing well right now.
game last road split swept tomorrow year
I think tomorrow is a big game for us. A split in the road for the Pac-10 openers, we'll be better than last year when we started off by getting swept on the road.
aggressive ball cutting easy good guy guys hands job last man night open single threw time touched ucla
I think they threw every single guy they had at me last night. Every time I touched the ball I had guys all over me. ... UCLA did a lot of double-teams. When that happens, I need to look for the open man quicker. They were real aggressive with their hands up. I had been doubled before. They did a good job rotating and cutting off the easy pass, but part of that is on me. I've got to get the ball out.
good guy job mind worked
He's a really good player. He's a big guy and really good. I had a mind-set I wanted to do a job on him and I worked hard.
ball break credit defense defensive fast good led looked mistakes passing points simple
Part of it was we looked a little rusty, we made some simple mistakes, like passing the ball out of bounds. That led to some fast break points for them. You have to give credit to them. They did play good defense and did have good defensive pressure.
against capable plays practice strong telling
I play against him in practice every day and I know what he's capable of. He's big and strong and he can rebound. I keep telling him that if he plays the way he does against me, he'll be fine. He'll get there.
beat chris
Chris beat his man. Chris made the play.
