“They were exceptional. I've never seen them shoot like that. We're the leading 3-point defense team in the Pac-10 and they shot us right out of the fight.”
“The deal right now is our perimeter defense. We battle for a while and the lack of depth and height is killing us. Guys are trying, but the guys we are trying to stop are the lead guys in the conference. And Lamar always took that assignment. We've been vulnerable there.”
“It's good to see him participate in low impact shooting. When we start talking about next week, we're still eight days away. There's no ballistic movement in what we are doing, so we'll see.”
“It's not the way it's supposed to be drawn up with two of the four seniors who have had an impact on the program. Two seniors not really having a chance to play, it's unfortunate.”
“He wants to suit up one more time, but we're five days from that. He still can't do anything ballistic. He doesn't do much with us but straight ahead shooting. He can't push off side to side or change direction. I don't see that happening in five days.”
“We've already felt the impact of one injury, so losing Nick is another significant blow. This isn't the way the season was supposed to be drawn up for two of our four seniors who have had such an impact on our program.”
