California Head Coach Ben Braun Quotes:

"I told our guys after I visited the locker room that I thought our effort was a heck of a lot better in the second half."

"It was a tough period in the first half. After halftime we played with a lot of intensity and execution."

"We're the same team, yet we shot 29 percent in the first half and 60 percent in the second half. Our mentality was a lot better in the second half."

"We tried to run in the first half. We missed a lot of good opportunities. Our team didn't slow down in the second half and it paid off."

"Arizona got a little tired in the second half. We got some easier scores."

"It wouldn't have been fair or advisable for Leon (Powe) to play. We have an opportunity to let him play in the Arizona State game. He's a competitor and he wanted to play, but it would not have been in his best interest."
