I think this is the year it can happen.
Last year we had huge confidence because teams didn't know how quick we were or how fast we were going to play.
It's awesome that top players from the state of Washington with a year difference in age are considered top players in the country. That says a lot for the state and how we've come along as basketball players. When I was a kid, I dreamed about this.
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.
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 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.
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.
I think every coach in the league would agree he's one of the better players. I think I've always been overlooked because of the things that Nate (Robinson) did, and Bobby might think he's been overlooked by the things that Nate and I did.
