The keys to our success this year have been playing aggressively for 40 minutes, staying with things throughout the game's momentum changes and outrebounding our opponents. If we do these things, we usually are pretty tough to beat. In reality the combination is no secret, but executing the game plan comes down to a total 100 percent team effort, especially when we're on the road. Only one player off the bench scored Saturday afternoon in our loss, proving it wasn't a total team effort. In an effort to get back on track at home vs. the southern California schools this weekend, we will be looking to execute the keys that have made us successful in the past and learn from this weekend' loss to keep improving as a team.
Every game is looked at as equally important as the next in conference play.
We have to bring our keys from now on because there is no negotiating our way into a Pac-10 championship, and it will take the combination of us all to keep the door open this weekend.
