hostile impressed missouri physical seen
We're going into one of the more hostile environments we've seen all year. I'm impressed with Missouri State's team, with how physical they play.
early open shots stretch taking
Early on we had a lot of open shots and they just weren't falling. Again, we're not taking anything away from Cal. Their athleticism allows them to stretch you defensively, but we had a lot of things going for us offensively early on and shots just weren't going down.
care college guys healthy leave nobody playing quite seen six stepped wants
Quite frankly, I don't care if we had six guys who could have stepped in, when Matt's playing like that, you leave him on the floor. They're college kids. I've never seen a guy who's healthy who wants to sit. And when the ball's going down and you're playing well, nobody wants to come out.
across found half late sunday travel virginia
Virginia found out on Sunday they had to travel all the way across the country. I think they got a little fatigued late in the first half and then late in the game.
bottom dwell line talk
We don't talk about that. The bottom line is I don't dwell on those things.
hostile played
We played in one of the more hostile environments, so, yes, we played with toughness. We were in the game.
came courageous gave matt practice week
I thought Matt was very courageous today. He didn't practice all week and he didn't participate in shoot-around for more than 15 minutes, but he came in and gave us a lift.
against played
We haven't played well against quick, athletic, tough, defensive-minded teams.
believe best game good knew needed tonight year
He's a good player. We knew that. He's a handful, like he's been all year. Tonight he had an exceptional night. I have to believe that this was his best game all year offensively and they needed that.
absence difference playing
From our standpoint, and how we've been playing of late, I don't think (Adams' absence is) going to make that much of a difference anyway.
safe shocked
I'd be shocked if we'd be in consideration if we didn't. I think we have to. That's the safe bet.
care execute job lying mental mistake physical taking team toughness
I would be lying to you if I said I wasn't concerned. It's all mental and physical toughness when you go on the road. You've got to do a better job taking care of the ball. Every mistake you make magnifies. Rebounding and being able to execute offensively are huge, especially with a team like Arizona.
extremely none playing team
None whatsoever. They are a completely different team that's playing extremely well.
articulate danny game guys next talked
Chris, Matt, Danny - these guys have been through some wars. All we ever talked about was the next game and the next practice. This is a very bright, articulate group. There was never any sense of panic.
