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.
To me, I'm just really happy we played a great game and picked up a big sweep down here on the road. Right now we're just playing really good basketball.
In my heart, I would have liked to have seen him come to Washington because I feel like the things I've been through here have made me not only a better person but a better basketball player. You come to college and nobody looks at you as a star anymore. You're just another guy on the team, and that would have been great for him.
It wasn't a big deal for me. It was a good game. I'm just happy we played a great game.
It was a great game to play in.
All these accomplishments wouldn't be as great if we were just a mediocre team right now.
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.
We wanted to have fun and enjoy the moment. We got the win and now it is time to enjoy the moment.
I think he made up for the Stanford game.
I think Jamaal plays better with a chip on his shoulder.
I was like, 'Does he just randomly walk around? They were like, 'Yeah, but not today, it's past his bedtime.
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.
