Dave Sitton Quotations

Thank goodness we played those series of matches. With conference play beginning this week, the exhibition provided us with a real glimpse of where we have strengths and where we have weaknesses.

As you watch sports franchises and teams, they go in cycles, and I think we're now emerging from - I'm not going to say a down cycle - but I'm certainly going to say a cycle where we weren't at our best. I think this team has already worked very hard to pull us out of that.

We learned a lot at the Pac-10 tournament. If we implement the changes we introduced at practice this week, particularly on defense, we should be in pretty good shape.

I'm actually very hopeful because I think we're starting to play a style that fits us. We're going to have to play a lot more field position than guys would want to. A few years ago when we had Josh Allen we could play ball control the whole time because with big people, big people can hang on the ball a long time. Little people can't.
