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.
He's a good player. But I still think we should have beaten them.
Right now, we don't have very good chemistry offensively.
I'm just enjoying every moment of this. I feel I'm having a pretty good senior season.
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.
He's still a sophomore. He's had good games. He's a good player. As he gets older, he'll do more. Big guys can do it, but it's hard for a guard to come in and dominate this conference.
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.
After beating Gonzaga, we knew were good enough to beat anybody. Now I'll be disappointed if we don't go deep in the (NCAA) tournament.
It wasn't a big deal for me. It was a good game. I'm just happy we played a great game.
There's a lot of good teams on that 32-game home win streak. Another one came in here and took it from us. It's the only way it should end.
If you would have asked me at the beginning of the season, I'd have said Oregon would be in the top five (in the league). On paper, they've got a really good team. That's why you never go in there and say we're going to beat them. They've got the personnel to beat us.
If I played on the East Coast, I think I would be a household name. But on the West Coast I'm a household name, so that's good enough for me.
Any change right now can be good for us. I don't feel we have very good chemistry offensively.
