QUOTABLE: "The reason it’s so much fun right now is because of what we went through earlier with the struggles," coach Jerome Tang said after defeating Arizona. We’re not hugging each other because of the win. We’re hugging each other because of all the tears we cried, all the sweat, and all the rough times we went through. But we stuck together, so we’re even happier for each other.”
