We wanted to have fun and enjoy the moment. We got the win and now it is time to enjoy the moment.
We've got a lot of experience. When I was a sophomore, we were just excited to be there. Last year, being a one-seed, we just wanted to live up to expectations. This season is fun because no one is really saying much about us. We have the chance to go in there and surprise some people. We almost get to play the underdog role.
It was welcome back, Mike. It's fun having him out there because he stretches out the defense so much.
It's fun playing Oregon. It's an up-tempo game. Hopefully, we'll make some shots.
I think we just want to keep playing good basketball. We don't want to go the Pac-10 tournament and have a terrible game and have that be the last thought on our minds heading into the NCAA tournament.
I think this is the year it can happen.
I think he made up for the Stanford game.
I think Jamaal plays better with a chip on his shoulder.

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.
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.
That was a gut check. That's what we were looking for after the last two weeks.
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.
