Ben Howland Win Quotations

We've got to make our free throws and out-board our opponents if we're going to win any more games in this tournament.

I'm so happy for our guys. Any time you win a championship it's special.

I'm so happy for our guys. I'm most glad we're Pac-10 champions. We decided it ourselves. We don't have to wait for anybody and get in backdoor. Any time you win a championship it's special.

That's a very important win we got tonight. It's a credit for these kids to handle any adversity.

Will anybody ever get a program at that level? It will be very difficult to win 10 in 12 years.

That was a great gut-check win for our team, our program. We are happy, but we want to win our next game (Saturday at Stanford to win the title outright).

To shoot 3 for 19 from the threes and still win the game is a testament to our defense and rebounding.

We had a great year. Our goal is to get back here again next year and win it.

That's my expectation, that we're going to feed off this win and it's going to make us better. We're going to need to be better, a lot better, to have a chance to beat Memphis.

There's no big secret to this. If you want to win ... you have to be able to play both ends.

This was a great gut-check win for our team, our program. To go through all that and have to go to overtime and to gut it out, it's a testament to these kids' character.

It was a great win. I'm excited for our team. In the first half we forced 13 turnovers. Our defense was so active. It was misleading. Arizona shot 58 percent. It's astounding they can shoot 58 percent and lose. Usually, you win when you shoot a percentage like that.

This is a great win for us with all the adversity.

This was just a great gut-check win for our program. We beat an NCAA tournament team tonight, and to come out in this type of environment and play so well is a testament to our guys.

I'd much rather win by 20. Are you kidding me?
