"The ref came over and said ‘You have five fouls. Do you want to foul here? If you’re fouling, I don’t want to miss it. We had six on our book, so we sent a guy to the scorer’s table and said ‘How many fouls?’ and they said ‘Five, you have five.’ So we were just fouling to make them have a longer possession. We didn’t want to foul there. We don’t want to put them on the line for one-and-one. It happens, but there were so many other plays after that. I’ve never seen it happen before, but you control what you can control. I mean, we had plenty of other opportunities. It was just bizarre. It was more on us." Jay Wright, on the late game foul situation in the loss to Santa Clara
