SAN ANTONIO—Arizona’s dream season ended in a nightmare on Thursday night, falling 72-60 to Houston in the Sweet 16.
Our full recap can be found here. Below is what coach Tommy Lloyd, center Christian Koloko and guards Bennedict Mathurin and Dalen Terry had to say afterward.
Lloyd on Houston’s defensive intensity: “Houston is one of those teams where you’re better served off if you play them a couple times. I think the first time you play them, they do the things they’re good at at such a high level, that it’s hard for you to get comfortable the first time around, and maybe the second time you play them, you can try to tell your guys what’s coming, but they actually have a lot better feel for it actually having experienced it.
