I don't think Bobby was too worried. The other two might have been.
It's pretty cool. It's like everybody knew it was going to happen, so they were scheduled to play at the end.
That's special the way that team beat us and broke our record at home. So it was good to come in here and spoil their Senior Night.
It's important that we step up and be seniors and lead this team, and this was the best job we've done of that all season.
It's a matter of how much they accept him. I can't see him coming up here, I think it would be tough for him to show his face. If I did that to an Oregon player and walked into their gym in the summer, people would wonder what I was doing there.

They were physical, they were banging me. Coming off screens, they were grabbing me. It was one of those games.
They just dominated us in the second half.
It's a special feeling. A lot of people wouldn't have guessed we would make it this far.
It wasn't just our goal to make it to the tournament. We wanted to make a special run in the tournament.
It's the only way to end (the streak). It shouldn't end by losing by 15 or losing to a bad team. It was a good team. This was the way to go out if we had to.

It's almost flipped now to where they stopped going to the tournament and we started going to the tournament. He may never admit it, but he may be thinking in the back of his mind, he could be a part of that right now.
It's always possible that we can get better than last year, but it's still too early to say that.
