ARIZONA HEAD COACH LUTE OLSON QUOTES

"It took us a while to get going, but once we got rolling, I thought we did well. We had some mental errors on fast-break situations, but our defensive effort was consistent. Oregon State played very hard, and we are just glad to get the win."

"I thought the two best players for us were Rick (Anderson) and Luke (Walton). They did a good job defensively, and they made it very difficult on their wings. We got good offensive production from them, combining for 25 points, and we also got 10 boards out of them. They shot the ball well, and they did a good job overall."

"Michael Wright really got going in the second half offensively. He stepped out and faced up, and he showed that he can shoot the jump shot from 15 or 17 very well. He did a nice job taking the shot."

"We took care of our home court during the first half of the Pac-10 season, but the home court games in the second half of the season are going to be real battles. It will definitely be a challenge for us as a team."

"We have taken care of business at home, but now we have to take care of business at Washington because it is always a very tough place to play."
