Lorenzo Romar Played Quotations

Jon is playing a different kind of basketball than he's ever played in his life. He's guarding out on the perimeter, he's put in positions to handle the ball on the perimeter. He's not just within the confines of the paint, where he's spent a lot of his time and has dominated by doing so.

I thought we played as solid as we've played in a while.

When other teams have played deliberate basketball against us, we have been able to force our will upon them. We weren't able to do that tonight.

Every time in the three years that we have been here that we played Arizona State, it has been a physical war. A couple of times there were some stand-offs, some hard fouls, a little bit of jawing. They haven't backed down and we won't back down. They're going to play with a lot of intensity.

That was a big win for us. I thought we played about as solid a game as we have played in a while.

There was a beauty to it. We're leading the nation in scoring, and we played a team that went to Cal and won, and that gives us problems. Yet we found a way to win (while) shooting 33 percent. I think that's a very positive thing.

In our first road game, with a lot of questions in how we would handle it, I thought we did a pretty good job. We played 40 minutes of hardscrabble basketball.
