basically chances heads
If we didn't win, I think our chances (of getting) in the tourney would be slim. It was a must-win, and that's basically what we put in our heads and in our hearts.

basically job knew mental moment sat
We just sat here and thought. Basically a mental thing where we knew we didn't do the job and we didn't do our job defensively or offensively so we just kind of had a moment of silence.
basically beginning bought coach force grown improvement issue open seen tried within
To be honest, at the beginning of the year, in Maui, I tried to force the issue with scoring. Coach (Olson) basically said to play within the offense, get open shots. So I bought into that. I've grown a lot. I've seen a lot of improvement in my game.
elite great season solid won
I think we had a solid season. We had 30 wins. That's a big season for us. We won the Big East. We got to the Elite Eight. It's a great season, but I think we could have done a lot more.
defensive proved reckoned starting stepped team
I think we proved that this team is still to be reckoned with in the Pac-10. Starting on the defensive end, we just stepped it up.

clicking good
I think so. When we come out clicking and we're all on the same page, we're a pretty good team.
drift rebounds saw shooting tried
I saw it was kind of long, so I tried to just drift to the other side. I've never had 10 rebounds. Ever. I never had 10 rebounds shooting by myself.
came coming knew missing needed whoever
We've needed that all year, coming and not missing a beat, so whoever came in we knew it was the same intensity.
fire
Play With Fire, ... there's no iBook in team.
lie playing
Playing a No. 16 seed, sometimes you think they are going to lie down and give us the win. We need to go out and take the first hit.
funny handle harsh prepared
I think I'm prepared for it, just because of my personality and the way I am. I know there's going to be some harsh things, some funny things. I'm going to try and take it all in as a joke, go out there and handle my business.
easier half realized second trying
I think I kind of realized in the second half that it was easier to penetrate, because they were overplaying so much. I think I just realized it too late. In the first half, I was just trying to get us in our offense.
