plenty step time
They've had plenty of time to adjust, and someone else will step up.
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.
approach beat felt guys half matt played practice second time week whatever whoever
Because of how we played the second half when Matt was down and the approach to practice the week after that game, I thought whoever beat us from there on out was going to have to really beat us. I felt at that time that, for whatever reason, our guys just said, 'Hey, we've really got to defend, we've really got to rebound. We've really got to play with a sense of urgency.' And I feel we've done that.
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.
beat challenge forward good guys home knew last looking opportunity played time tonight
The last time we played at home we got beat by a really good team. I thought tonight our guys were really looking forward to the challenge and knew we had an opportunity to be successful.
forward group looking taking
I'm looking forward to taking our group out.

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.
expect
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.
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.
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.
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.
