Good, because we'd like to have a tournament with all Pac-10 teams advancing far into the tournament.
He didn't want to go. Sounds like Coach. His family made him do it. He's going to be fine, based on all the information we have.
He didn't want to go. Sounds just like Coach. He's going to be fine, based on all the information we have. I was hoping we would play really well so he and his family could enjoy that in the hospital room that he was in.
He didn't want to go. Sounds just like coach.
He can score from 3, he can score off the bounce, he can score in the post, he rebounds his own shot as well as anybody. He poses a lot of problems. There's only a handful of people that are playing the game in college that would ever be talked about in that same light.
He is so sharp mentally, it's incredible. But the key to his run was recruiting good players who were good people. Good people last a lifetime.
He was critical. Everything starts with having a point guard.
This was just a great gut-check win for our program. We beat an NCAA tournament team tonight, and to come out in this type of environment and play so well is a testament to our guys.
This team never, ever gets affected ... they just battle back. We're playing our best basketball of the year by far right now.
This team never, ever gets affected by it. They just continue to battle back. There's nothing that they haven't seen in terms of adversity that's going to bother them.
We were the tentative ones in the first half. I think we did a better job of playing way more aggressively at both ends of the floor in the second half.
To hold him to 20 is a minor miracle.
This year has been exceptional in that we've had so many injuries, more so than in any other year.
We feel very, very fortunate to move on to the next round.
