Some guys who go through big emotional swings like that want to transfer or drop out. But he's doing a good job of adjusting and trying to help his team win, so I think that's great.
I think that's a credit to all past Husky teams. I'm happy to be part of it.
I think he made up for the Stanford game.
Let's throw that one out the window and play Oregon.
He just couldn't get in the groove tonight. I have to thank my teammates for that.
People give me a lot of credit for being a team guy, but Bobby brought us a winning attitude. I never won a state championship.
This is the first night me, Bobby and Jamal got on the same page. We need to lead this team. I think tonight we did a good job.
This is the first night that me, Bobby and Jamaal all got on the same page. It's important that we step up and be seen. If we get on the same page night in, night out, we can be a really good team.
I'm excited about it. Besides our home crowd, I've been pretty disappointed everywhere we went. I look forward to it being a high-level, high-energy game. That's part of college basketball. That's part of the experience.
There's always a weakness in every team. They have had a lot of games this season where they are down 15 and they come back. That just shows how dominating of a team they are, and it also shows that sometimes they are less focused for 40 minutes. That may leave the door open for us.
Right now, we don't have very good chemistry offensively.
We'll be fine. We've just got to get ready for the tournament now. This is what we played all season for is this moment. The next game we lose, I'm done, so I have to make sure I go out and know that we gave it our all and we lost instead of saying we played bad in the second half. We don't want to go out with a bad taste in our mouth. I'm just looking forward to getting to the tournament and making a special run. I think we still can.
We got kind of frustrated. A couple of charge calls didn't go our way.
The refs could have called a foul every time down the court on both teams.
