California Head Coach Wyking Jones

 
Overall thoughts:
"To start, we came out flat, like we weren't ready to play to start the game. I don't know why, but I have to do a better job of making sure that we're ready to play. I could see it in shootaround. The energy level wasn't there for whatever reason, but we can't dig ourselves a hole. Typically we start games well, but we weren't ready to play today. We fought back, and had some energy and spurts, but you can't dig yourself an 18-point hole and expect to win."
 
"You give Seattle a lot of credit. They played hard. They competed. They were physical. I challenged our guys before our game to rebound the basketball – all five guys. We go in at halftime down 19-7 on the boards. Right there, something wasn't right…We ended up closing the gap a little bit, but they got 14 offensive rebounds and 19 points on second-chance baskets. We're a team that doesn't turn the ball over at a high rate, and we turned it over 13 times. Those are things that we can control – their offensive rebounds and our turnovers – and we didn't do a great job."
 

Junior Guard Paris Austin

 
On improving ahead of Pac-12 play:
"We're definitely going to make adjustments. We hit some adversity today. We're going to move past it, learn from it, get better and get ready for our next game."
 
On missing presence of bigs:
"Us being guards, we need to rebound more. We're not going to put it on our bigs. They have their own load down there, and we have to do our job too. Getting in there, rebounding and helping them out…we've got to do the same."
 

Sophomore Guard Darius McNeill

 
On Seattle's keys to winning:
"We came out flat offensively. They outrebounded us, really."
