UCLA plays with a winning mentality. They know how to win games. They have that attitude, an arrogance, to come up with wins like this one.
beating bottom confidence fans feels final four gives great knew next oregon win
We really didn't think about the final standings. We knew we were going in as one of the bottom four teams. Honestly, we just wanted to get a win for our fans. Beating Oregon was on our minds. That gives us a lot confidence for the next game. It especially feels great for the fans and the seniors. There was no better way to go out.
half happening minor season within
To the end of the half we were within one and we're doing well. It's a one-possession game. It was just the little things ? the minor details. That's the story of the season ? little things happening in segments.
decent good hard
It wasn't what we wanted. Even with that, we had a decent (second) shot. But those are hard shots. Marcel had a good look. That was as good of a look as you can get, but we didn't get the roll.
beat talent team twice
They beat us twice and we don't feel like they're a better team than we are. I feel like we have a lot more talent than they do.
It's all right right now. We'll see what's going on with it Monday.
came feeling feels forgotten jumping locker room tournament won
We'd forgotten how it feels to win. We came into the locker room feeling like we'd won the tournament or something. We were jumping and celebrating.
bounce definitely deserved happened lucky year
We deserved that one lucky bounce at the end with how we've been working this year and everything that has happened to us during the year. We definitely deserve that bounce. If he would have made that or if he got fouled, it would have been Armageddon.

We started rushing. That's a problem we have when things start going wrong on the defensive end. It affects our offense and that leads to fast-break points.
came ended few knew played run
We knew they were going to make a run; we knew it. Their run ended and we look up and they were only up by a few points. And that was all they got. And then we came out and played better.
easy fact mean slump
The fact that they're having a little slump is understandable. It doesn't mean that they're going to be easy for us.
basketball deserve final fought hard played shots
We didn't deserve to win. That's how basketball is. If we fought hard those final shots would drop. If we merited to win, those final shots would drop. But they played a better game.
fight people promise upset
We are pissed. People are upset and people are mad, which is normal. But we know all we can do is fight through it. I can only promise we won't give up. We'll come out and try every time. That's our job. That's all we can do.
controlled force suits
They don't force as many turnovers. We had 11 turnovers. For us, that's great. If it's like that every game, we're good. They play a controlled game, and that suits us a lot better.
