​"There's just no substitute for experience in games like this," said associate head coach Bill Brock, who filled in for Mulkey on the bench. "They'll be better the next time. . . . I know we live in a microwave world and we'd love to just push a button and get experience quick or take some kind of pill and get some experience. But, that just doesn't happen."

​"I just felt like we handled the situation about as good as you could. We handled it head-on," Brock said. "Yeah, your youth showed up at times today, but that's all correctible. . . . We got the game back to 62-58 with about seven minutes to go, and we just did not handle the last seven minutes very well. Some of that was our mistakes. A lot of it is UCLA is a very mature team, they knew when to step up the pressure, they capitalized on our mistakes and they're to be commended for an outstanding performance today."

"You look at our team, we'll be different come March," Brock said. "Right now, I just want to get back home safely, let these young people take a deep breath and relax for a day, and then we'll come back Monday and try to work and improve."
