11/30/12 | Men's Basketball
Oregon 95, UT San Antonio 78
November 29, 2012
Eugene, Ore.-Matthew Knight Arena
---------------------------
Coach Dana Altman
Opening Statement…
“We shot the ball very well tonight, offensively I am happy with our performance. Defensively we looked like we played on our heels. We were unable to stop their offense in the beginning; I was very frustrated with our effort.”
On our defensive performance…
“Our turnovers, defensively, turned into a lot of our points on offense. We allowed them to shoot 56% and that's not a good defensive performance.”
On Arsalan's (Kazemi) performance…
“He's a very intelligent player. He's picked up our offense insanely fast. He's got a lot of qualities that make him an awesome player.”
---------------------------
Senior Arsalan Kazemi
On his transition to Oregon…
“Every game day that goes by I get better and feel more comfortable with my new teammates. This was the first time my guardian was there, so I was really trying to impress him.”
On choosing Oregon…
“I'm really happy with my decision. It's a great athletic program and we have a lot of support as a basketball team. It is really live out there. The fans come out and really support our team and I'm really enjoying that.”
“It is a lot different than Rice. I'm pretty sure it's going to get a lot more different as we get into conference games and play top teams.”
---------------------------
Senior Tony Woods
On coming off the bench and controlling his fouling…
“My mentality is to still just do whatever I can to help my team win the game. I tried to be conscious of keeping my hands up because I want to play."
Oregon's tactics against UTSA…
“They were a little bit smaller in size so one of our emphases was to get the ball in the paint. At least try to drive in and get shots in the paint.”
On Arsalan Kazemi…
“He looks effortless. He's fitting in right and picking up everything right off the bat. He's really quick which is a big help for us. He is a leader on the boards and is experienced, so it makes me feel more comfortable to know a veteran and a leader like that is on the floor with me.”
