Lute Olson Game Quotations

We still haven't gotten some of them. That's why we need to take this game and get better.

Chris had a great game at both ends of the court because he let shots come to him instead of looking for shots.

Washington and ourselves split and we went a game deeper in the league tournament. Maybe it is best to play 10 out of your first 11 at home. They say they're not going to be influenced by a team's record, but I'm not ready to buy that.

I hoped our inside game would have developed better. We have been very inconsistent there. We need a big man to step up and that is what we are going to try to accomplish this week, to get one of those guys so we can count on them to go in there and do the job.

The inside game is certainly developing to the point where we have an inside game.

This game was invented to have fun. If you can't enjoy playing basketball, you've missed a lot.

We just got absolutely hammered on the boards but Michigan State does that to a lot of people. I want to acknowledge the courage and the heart of that team following what I thought was the best preseason game I've ever seen to go to another overtime and be able to sustain that effort.

That's good that they have, because now it's our turn to swing it back the other way. All of those games have been competitive games. This is a new year, new team. ...I don't think past history is going to have anything to do with it, frankly.

I'm happy that we moved up and can start a new streak. After winning our last three road games at Utah by 30 and at Washington State and Washington this past weekend, I wasn't sure if that was going to happen. I'm relieved to be back in the poll.
