We're just trying to recover from a hard-fought double-overtime game. It was one of those games really neither team lost. Both teams played winning basketball and we were fortunate to come away with a win.
Not that I'm trying to put myself on the same plateau as coach Olson, but it struck me that he was very successful at Iowa, a well-established program in the Big Ten, and he made a quantum leap to Arizona at a similar stage in his career.
At the same time, we've been trying to integrate those young guys into our plan and work on our depth.
We did a good job bouncing back and our guys came together and they battled. I think foul trouble really hurt both teams and especially us with Cedric Simmons in foul trouble. (Simmons) was really only a shell of himself trying not to pick up extra fouls.
We had a great understanding of what we were trying to accomplish. But we do understand we have a long way to go.
We are trying to cram a lot of preparation into a short time. Texas doesn't seem to have any weaknesses. It's no wonder they've had such an outstanding season.
