They didn’t do anything different. He just got tired. They’ve got a lot of bodies, and they kept throwing fresh ones at him, and we don’t have enough to combat that.

We knew that’s what they could do. We also knew that was what they would try to do in the second half. We just didn’t do anything to stop them.

So much more of the theft is remote, impersonal. The bad guys don’t even have to be there harassing customers.

The thing we’ve tried to do is share the wealth, get more guys involved. We’re sharing the ball more. We’re trying to pressure more defensively. On offense, we have more guys involved, that’s the biggest...

We were going a little too fast at the end of the half there. We had a chance of widening that lead a little bit by slowing up the tempo and playing our game, but...

I thought our guys competed really hard; they just didn’t complete the task.

Tyrone can be another coach on the floor when he wants to be a leader, … We need him to be a scoring threat. He was here all summer working on his game and has...

Our guys got out and got to him, made him put it on the floor. He’s a lot different player when he has to put it on the floor.

His game has changed because he can take you outside – maybe earlier in the year he was relying on his outside game – but now he has balanced it, which has made it difficult...

The computer is not from the state of Arizona, that is for sure,

What we need is for each player to look at how Ike worked and progressed, … He trusted our staff. He did the little things. The returning players watched Ike work and now see the...

Not in the eight years since I’ve been here have I seen the conference like this.

I thought in the first half, we struggled offensively. In the second half, we got it going offensively, but we weren’t where we need to be defensively.

They’re both really good 3-point shooters. It didn’t matter which one shot it as long as one of them got a really good look at it. It’s got a 50-50 chance of going in if...

I’ve never seen a pool quite like that before.

With each game, I feel like we’re getting better. That’s the thing you have to do. Even as bad as we played in the first half against Iowa, I thought we began to improve in...

I’m hard-pressed to find a freshman that’s playing better than him right now. He’s just unbelievable. He was patient in the first half and then comes out in the second half and plays like a...

Had Ike been here, I don’t know that we’d have lost a ball game. I don’t know who would have beaten us.

All the ports have been notified, but whether they have or not gone out of the country we don’t know. Obviously the longer it goes on the more concerned we get.

Jeff was on everyone’s top-100 list, but since he committed to us early he was forgotten as others were making noise about their decision, … I predict a great career for Jeff at ASU. He...

We had good looks for the most part. We executed pretty good, we just didn’t make good shots.

Our effort was there. Just too many turnovers and not enough stops late in the game.

We knew he was a great player coming in. In the second half he was taking good shots and playing aggressively.

I think he did a pretty good job of stabilizing his basketball team. He did a lot of things that go unnoticed. He was a factor in the game.

I’m not worried about the big guys on our bench. They’ve got talent. They’ll be OK.

If there’s a better freshman in this conference, I don’t know who he is.

I thought, when we got the 15-point lead, we were playing pretty well. But for whatever reason, our defense stopped. We missed a couple of executions and they picked up their intensity. That was pretty...

We’ve improved every game we’ve played. We played some games early that tested us against Santa Barbara, Iowa and Minnesota. We’ve gotten better. We’re still a very young team. We’ve got six new guys.

In the Pac-10, we’re going to have to step up, no questions.

Adams took over the game for a stretch.

You have to beat them; they’re not going to beat themselves because they’re a very cerebral basketball team. They’re not the most athletic team in the world, but they’re going to negate your athletic ability...

We’re actually going to be at seven locations and there are going to be seven individual winners and we’re going to have those winners do a final exam where they do a little reporting story...

He played the point a little for us. He can play there, we just wanted him off the ball because he moves so well without it.

I cannot fault the guys for their effort. I thought they did a great job effort-wise. Just a good team like this, you can’t let them go on runs.

I’m not so concerned with what is on top of his head as I am with what is in his head. He’s an emotional kid, but he’s finding his way.

In those days, four black kids might start, but a white kid always started at point guard. In those days, the point guard was thought of as the intelligent position, just like quarterback in football.

There was some talk in the papers that OSU was going to beat us because we’ve lost five in a row, but we have had some great chances to win games and we just couldn’t...

I did not see it coming.

I know it is hard for people to understand why injuries take so long to recover from,

Allen needs to pick up where he left off last year and then find ways to contribute offensively, … He needs to find his niche at the offensive end and become a stopper at the...

Our bench is not that deep.

We met with the six returning players from last year and in those meetings my staff and I went over what each of them needs to do to improve their skills and help the team,...

There’s just a lot of issues to work with, and the next one is regulation.

I’ve always felt that Cal could be one or two of the best teams in the league. In the end, Cal is a team to look at, because they have that ultimate weapon.

It’s a matter of executing the details.

He’s so athletic and so physical. He’s a smart basketball player. I’ve always been impressed about his demeanor on the court. It never changes. He’s a fighter and a warrior. He’s a class player. I’ve...

We’ll continue to bring Sylvester along.

It’s not a matter of effort. We just turned the ball over too many times.

We didn’t get the basketball to him enough because we didn’t get enough possessions. You don’t get a chance to get the basketball to somebody when you turn it over 26 times.

I thought he did a good job in the second half. I thought he pretty well took control of their offense, and did a good job of getting the shots that he needed.
