Arizona coach Tommy Lloyd answers questions during Thursday's news conference in San Antonio.

SAN ANTONIO — The Arizona Wildcats have played in the Sweet 16 round 19 times in program history, including this season, but this year is the first go-around under new head coach Tommy Lloyd. 

No. 1 seed Arizona is coming off a nail-biting 85-80 overtime win over TCU in San Diego, and since then has directed its focus on No. 5 seed Houston, which only trekked three hours to San Antonio for the Sweet 16. 

Several Wildcats, including Lloyd spoke to the media on Wednesday, here's what they had to say:
