Sitting in his hotel room in his New York City hotel room last Friday a few hours before his team was to play top-ranked Wake Forest, Olson confessed that his decision to write those words wasn't exactly spur-of-the-moment. No, I think you wait for the right opportunity to get that point across, ... That's the perception the Pac-10 always deals with. We want to make sure that we don't fit that description.

Chris Rodgers had a great game at both ends of the court, because he let shots come to him instead of looking for shots. He was 3 for 3 from three-point range and all of them came as a result of penetration. We are hoping this will be his defining moment, and that he can help us on both ends of the court.

Our program is different. Our program is used to being in this situation, because that's the biggest problem in terms of turning a program around is that you have to realize - and our guys do - that every time you come out you have 'Arizona' on your chest. We're used to that.

The biggest single thing is still the offensive movement. We still get jammed up a little bit inside, and we're working hard to keep that court more spread.
