extremely none playing team
None whatsoever. They are a completely different team that's playing extremely well.
certain compete defend figuring guys playing team urgency
We're playing better. Certain guys are figuring out that you have to defend with a sense of urgency and you have to compete with a sense of urgency. It's a different team out there.
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.
difference playing
How we've been playing as of late, I don't think it's going to make that big a difference anyway.
good played playing start time
We probably played as well as we have to date. We're playing better, we're getting there, and it's a good time to start doing that.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
basketball compete fight guys money next powers returning team year
We don't make that decision. The NIT is money generated and if the NIT powers say we want you to play at home, we will. ... But if it was my decision, I would like to take this basketball team on the road. Because we compete well at home, but for the guys that are returning next year we've got to fight through on the road.
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.
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.
