“As a team, they scored 91 points, 35 rebounds, stole the ball eight times, shot 60.4% of their field goals, and 88% of their free-throws.  I am sure that Coach Sean Miller spend the next half hour after the game pointing out where they could have stepped up the defense and “respected the game.”  I love how he is never satisfied, always pushing for perfection, as he should be!”
