"Arizona is a lot deeper than any of the clubs we've faced. They have the most options on offense that we've seen. They are also the most athletic team we've faced. They have more guys that can score for them than teams like New Mexico, for instance."

"I think they might have got a little tired at the end and took some long shots that they really didn't want to take, but we've played 11 games together already this year and they haven't played that many games."

"Offensively they have to keep swinging the ball because every time they swung the ball on us they got opportunities for their club. They'll be just fine this year. That Woods kid (Loren) was better than I ever thought he'd be. They'll be a club for sure."

All-Stars Forward Charles O'Bannon
On his overall impression of the Wildcats:
"Arizona was definitely more athletic than anyone we've faced so far. They play well together and they'll definitely make their mark nationally, as well as in the Pac-10 this year."

On the McKale Center crowd:
"It was great to be back in McKale. The crowd got into it just like they always do, but it was nothing like the way I remember the old UCLA vs. Arizona games"
