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.

The first half we probably shared the ball as well as we have all year. Zones give us a chance to get open looks. When teams get up on us and pressure us man-to-man, it causes problems for us. There were a couple sequences in the first half where we made seven or eight passes, side to side. Zones are usually good for us.

The easiest thing to do in coaching is when you have an element of success, to take off (for) the highest paycheck. That's never been the agenda for me. My agenda has always been what's best for the kids.

You were blackout drunk the night before if you wake up and have no idea where you are and why.

He's got a shiner. He looks like he got hit by Muhammad Ali.

He's one of the best he's one of our icons. He's humble and unassuming.

He's a handful and has been all year. Tonight he had an exceptional game.

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.

Call it being lucky, call it being good. You just have to execute down the stretch.

I heard someone say Arizona is going to be down. Huh? When in the heck is Arizona down?
