Man, this is a big win. So many different guys stepped up. |
Marcus was remarkable. Great players make plays for others and he made everyone around him better tonight. Colorado State is one of the best teams if not the best in our conference. |
My teammates believed in me and got me the ball in the right situations. My team. It was all about that. |
Oh, man, we have no wins? |
One thing about conference is, the games are going to be close. A lot of games will be won down the stretch. . . . Colorado State is one of the best teams in the league. We need to be ready right away. I still think we are capable of doing what everybody expected us to do when we have a full roster. I still think we can prove the (media poll) right. But nothing is going to be given to us. |
Our team did a great job of going after the 50-50 balls. And once we got control of the ball, our team was very unselfish. John Sharper had a look at the basket, but instead he passed up that shot and made an extra pass because I had a better look. |
Phenomenal, man, 20 boards is a lot. He had 20 and 20. I've never played with a guy who's done that before. I'm proud of him. He's a beast on the boards. |
Some of those guys were flexing their muscles after they beat us and laughing. We all had that it in the back of our heads. |
The (upcoming week) is real big. I hope everyone in San Diego comes out to be that sixth man and give us that edge. These are really big games. |
They were strutting a bit and laughing and flexing their muscles. We saw it, remembered it, put it in the back of our heads. We just wanted to come out and make a statement. But that's a very good team. A very disciplined team. A very, very well-coached team. It's a team we could see again at the conference tournament. |
We forgot about that a long time ago. The past is gone. We're more excited about the present and we took care of business tonight. |
We told each other to take heed to all of it. And then we said to put it all out on the floor. |
We're eager to get out there and prove to everybody in America that we can play with anybody in the country. |
We're not done. This was a big deal. It is a reward for every player and coach on this team, for all the hard work we have put into getting better as a program. But none of us is content. |
Whether we have Marcus or not shouldn't matter. If we take care of business with whoever we put on the floor, everything should come out positive. |
