Jason Fontenet Quotations

I think we got really complacent. We went out and took this team for granted. We didn't get any rebounds or play defense like we did against Arizona. Everyone was more hyped for Arizona because they were ranked. Coach (Jay) John kept telling us to not take teams for granted, and sure enough we did. And we got our butts kicked.

I think we got too relaxed. We kept saying we could beat them, but their offense was picking us apart. We got out-rebounded and we got out-hustled. We didn't run the offense and took bad shots at times. The offense dictates who gets shots. Chris Stephens didn't have a good game. I blame myself on that one.

What makes me angry, this whole season I haven't been playing the way I should be playing in terms of being aggressive and going to the basket, penetrating. My shot, everything is going in-and-out. I'm just going through something right now. I spend day-in and day-out working on my shot. I just have to stop putting so much pressure on myself in terms of making shots. Eventually, hopefully, they'll start falling.

Washington and Washington State are tough teams to go to. It's a hostile environment and they have good players. It will be a good test for us, especially Washington.

I've never seen a team like that. Last year they weren't the same. This year they run like 15 plays a game and we couldn't even cover half the plays.

They ran the offense very well. Their coach got those guys going. It's a military style how they run their offense. It's really crisp. I've never seen a team like that. They run 15 plays and we couldn't cover half of them. We didn't know what they were going to run, and I was chasing all over the place.

It will give us more confidence that Coach John is there. We'll be trying to prove a point after last year.

The more turnovers I have, I seem like I'm being tentative at times getting the ball to people. If I'm not penetrating and doing things I'm capable of, I'm going to have turnovers. That's not the style I play. I was embarrassed with the way I played against Oregon. I thought I let my teammates down. I'm going to try and pick it up in practice and get something going.
