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.
There are no Americans or Morgan States in the Pac-10.
I don't think Bobby was too worried. The other two might have been.
A Pac-10 championship is on the line, but more than that, I want to go out a winner at (home).
I'm not going to try and intimidate this guy. I thought maybe he had been in the Marines or overseas.
That's going to be a struggle between two teams trying to impose their wills on one another. If they can get it in the half-court set, they'll have the advantage.
Hopefully we can repeat what last year's team did and win the Pac-10 tournament. But the goal of chasing last year's team is over. We feel like this team can do some special things in the NCAA tournament.
I was like, 'Does he just randomly walk around? They were like, 'Yeah, but not today, it's past his bedtime.
I was actually frustrated throughout (non-league). I was like, man, I can wait until I can start putting my print on the team.
He's a good player. But I still think we should have beaten them.
Jon, he is just a bruiser. Arizona, we don't think they're that tough on the inside. Jon's going to have a big game inside, we think.
They were physical. They were banging me. I came off screens and they were grabbing me.
That was just incredible. For that year, that season, we will always be a number one seed. That's something they can never take from us.
Jon is a bruiser, and Arizona has some bruisers. But, Arizona, I don't feel like they're that tough inside. We think Jon is going to have a great game.
