anytime changing experience impact lose player
Anytime you lose a player of Matt's caliber, it is going to impact what you do, but we're not changing anything. And it's nothing we haven't had experience at.
coaching experience fortunate guys home last taste
I feel very fortunate to be coaching and our guys look at it the same way. I think their last experience at home was embarrassing. I think they would like to get that taste out of their mouths.
forward group looking taking
I'm looking forward to taking our group out.
plenty step time
They've had plenty of time to adjust, and someone else will step up.

I'm not going to comment on the NCAA. We're getting ready to play Arizona.

I'm preparing myself for the worst. Even if he plays, it won't be as effective as he was the last few weeks.

It's what you expect when you play a Dick Bennett-coached team.
nice
It was nice to see them play well, see them play up to their capabilities.
basketball far few games last lose lost players playing sight
The last few games I thought we've been playing better basketball. I didn't want our players to be down or lose sight of how far we've come just because they lost the other night.
beat certainly chris plenty rogers talented team time
They certainly have individuals on that team that are capable. They are plenty talented enough. And they didn't have Chris Rogers the first time around when they beat us in Tucson.
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 choose credit good opposed situation taking terms win
You have to look at why those turnovers happened, and I choose to give credit to our opponent, as opposed to some of our deficiencies in terms of taking care of the ball. For us to have 23 turnovers and 13 assists, and still be in a situation where we can win that game, we were doing something good in other facets.
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.
