We stuck to the game plan for four quarters. We did not deviate from it at all. Instead of a one-goal victory, we have a five-goal victory.

I'm not happy at all. I'm still thinking about those games against USC, UCLA and Stanford. For 30 seconds after the match I was satisfied. After this interview, I'm back to work.

We learned that we can compete at a high level. But we can never take our eyes off the prize and have a mental lapse for two, three minutes.

What we need is more experience. To compete at the highest level, we need more big-game experience, and this game will be huge for us in the tournaments.

I think it's good. I love that kind of adversity, you know? Adversity and distractions only make us tougher.

We're always prepared, whether mentally or physically. It's just a question of execution. And I think they're still cautiously optimistic. My hope and dream is for them to become arrogant in the next five, six weeks.

We've been focusing on ball control and a little bit more on game situations like up-a-man, down-a-goal, and two-minutes-left. Those are the most critical times throughout.

We can't give up five goals a half-that's much too much.

I don't care how good or bad a team is-you can't take an opponent lightly. You can't say, 'Hey we're playing No. 3 UCLA this week, so let's get fired up for that,' but whistle it back to the grave when you play Santa Barbara. That'll kill the team.
