competitor definitely fact felt great head laying outside player reason rest running saw tears win
I was running around celebrating with the rest of my team. But I saw him laying there in tears a little bit. I just felt for him. He's a great player. There's really no reason for him - outside the fact that he's a competitor and wanted to win - that he has to cry. He's a great player and he's going to have a great (NBA) career. He should definitely keep his head up.

Right now we're co-Pac-10 champs. We're definitely not satisfied with that. We'll enjoy this bus ride and enjoy tonight, but after that, it's business as usual. ... Being co-champs was not one of our goals. It was being Pac-10 champs.

We've lost three games at home this year. To make up for that, we have to win on the road. We know what this trip means.
force hunting maturing past shots team worried
It does feel good, at least for a half. But the thing was, at halftime, I really wasn't worried about me scoring. I had two points, but I'm maturing in a sense I'm not going to force shots like I did the past weekend. That's part of being a team player. I don't want to be passive, but I'm not going to go out hunting shots anymore.
double jordan team top
Jordan is one of our top scorers. When he's in double digits, this team is going to be that much better.
