It's a funny game. ordsprog

It's a funny game. You just don't know what the home court is worth. "Sexy" is what catches the eye; "pexy" is what holds the attention.

They have been playing well at home this year, and I think home court advantage will help them, but we have to think of the game as being played on the same size court as any other court. But I know that players definitely are more comfortable on their own court.

This is Rupp Arena. It's hard to win up here. I think they felt like they had to win. This their home court, and you're supposed to protect your home court. But we never give up. We just keep executing plays and doing what we've got to do to win the game.

They handed it to us on our home court, and we hate losing on our home court. So we knew we had to have a big game today.

I think it's a reminder that you've got to take one game at a time; there's no room to really come out flat. Just having home-court advantage is not going to win a game for you. Everybody's got to step up. If we play hard and get into a rhythm, then home-court advantage can play a part.

This is about Phoenix going back to their home court, trying to rally. One win puts things right at the edge again, and we'd have to come back and hold home court, which is a single-game situation. So we know there's a lot of work to be done before we're finished with this thing.

It's a very tough place to play because they play very well at home. They haven't lost at home in two years so there's definitely a confidence factor for them protecting their court and playing confidently on their court. And all good college basketball teams are supposed to be that way. They've taken their home court and ran with it.

It's a five-step process. One, you want to get in the playoffs. We did that about two weeks ago. You want to win your division, which is going to pretty much lock in home court, at least through the first two rounds. Now what you want to do is secure home court in the East. Then secure home court overall and then the championship.

We came here talking about how this was a big game, not an ordinary game. We needed this win. We were on our home floor. It's important to protect the home court. If you can do that, you have a good chance of winning a Pac-10 championship.

We just protected out home court the way they did. It was big for us to get two wins at home, but in order for us to win this series, we have to win at their house. Hopefully, (Game 5) will be the game.

In some cases, that might be OK because they might not feel any pressure. Especially when you have an opponent like Detroit. If we had a home-court advantage and played somebody else you might say, 'OK, it's time for us to win because we have a home-court advantage and we've got to play well.' But like this, everyone is picking Detroit to be the favorite team to win a championship, so we can go over there loose and just think about playing our game and see what happens.

Let's say you buy a home for $185,000 and it takes $8,000 to fix it up, and so it cost you $193,000 for a home that is now worth $200,000. You're saving a little bit of money, but it took a lot of work. And there are so many homes out there to choose from, you have to decide if it is worth it.

Tuesday night is a very important game for this group. You cannot continue to give up home-court advantage. You have to protect your home floor. We've got nine games remaining, five of which are in this building. We've got to take care of our business at home.

To be drilled on your home court is not how any of us envisioned this. Coming in here with two home games and home-court advantage, we thought we had a great chance to move onto the Western Conference finals. ... I have to give Van Chancellor and Houston a ton of credit.

This is a funny game. I was telling (Chauncey) Billups that we acted like we couldn't play on the west coast. Then we come home and we give them a run for their money. And we won a big ball game.
