Last year, with a No. 1 seed, we might have gotten a little relaxed. Now everybody's hungry. I think we have more fight.
My teammates like me, they enjoy me. I'm not being too dominant in the locker room or anything like that. As long as all the things are good, I'm having fun.
I was still trying to go to him.
I wouldn't want to play in that system because I think they're too structured. It's too much that this guy is going to shoot on this play, or this guy is going to shoot on this play, instead of having a little more freedom offensively. But it works.
There's something about late in the game that's when I feel like I'm at my best.
It would have been really special if he had come here. We would have been really good.
It was welcome back, Mike. It's fun having him out there because he stretches out the defense so much.
Right now, we don't have very good chemistry offensively.
Practices are like they were in January. He's definitely stepped it up a lot more. We're not going to the tournament just happy to be there. We're past that level.
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.
I've seen where you can score 35 in two games in a row, and once you lose, you can't get it.
I wanted to go suit up. We've almost got the same colors.
Washington is taking a huge step in being a power program.
We are a physical team and we're scrappy. Tonight I think we did a good job of coming out and showing everybody that we're a scrappy team and we can hold some leads in the second half.
