They practiced a little better; I thought we had a couple good practices Wednesday and Thursday, so I thought we'd play good tonight. It was better today."Senior guard Elijah BrownOn Oregon's execution overall"We felt like we made some pretty good progress, especially on the defensive end. We defended better, we rebounded better, we shared the ball, scored a lot of points, got out in transition a bit. We can cut our turnovers down a little bit — that's one negative I have — but overall it was pretty complete."Freshman wing Abu KigabOn Wooten's defensive presence"Kenny's presence is definitely felt. Having him in practice, knowing he's behind you, gives you a sense of comfort. It really makes you play harder on the ball, so he really helps the whole team.
