Opening Statement
“I’m disappointed in the performance tonight. We play well until the pressure hits and then when the pressure hits, we crumble. The beauty about the Pac-12 is you get a lot of good teams, a lot of ranked teams, a lot of tough opponents to play and the pressure is always going to be on. We just have to do better under pressure.”
