The first four minutes are important to us, especially to myself as a starter and the rest of the starters. We talked about setting the tone and we wanted to start well.

It's been almost a whole month. We're excited to get back to Mac Court and play in front of our fans and get back into the Pac-10.

They're fast and active and put a lot of pressure on you.

Every time we made a comeback and every time we'd make a shot, they would come right back.

We thought this one was it. But we can't respond late in games and it's really frustrating.

We're at the point now where we can't get much worse. We need to get the pressure off us, and the way to do that is just go out and play.

I think this will be really big for our confidence after those brutal losses. This is a quality school in a quality league.

I don't know why we're losing them. I think once we get one we'll be fine. I think losing on the last shot (at ASU), and to Arizona in overtime really brought us down.
