We've been getting blown out here all three years since I've been here, even in the win. This has been a tough place to play. |
We've got a lot of experience. When I was a sophomore, we were just excited to be there. Last year, being a one-seed, we just wanted to live up to expectations. This season is fun because no one is really saying much about us. We have the chance to go in there and surprise some people. We almost get to play the underdog role. |
We've got to really watch these guys on film. You don't see these guys on TV all the time. |
We've got to stop trying to cruise so much. Right now, we're just doing SOME of the things it takes to win. |
What makes it hard for us is that we're used to playing a fast-paced game and they're used to slowing it down. When we play each other it's a really awkward game. It's a battle of who imposes their game plan on the other one. They're a tough team to play against. You never look forward to playing them. |
When I was a kid I dreamed about this. It's an incredible honor to be recognized nationally like this. |
When I was dreaming, this is exactly how I dreamed it. I dreamed of this moment. To be almost this close to the goal of a Pac-10 championship and some accolades for myself — it's great. |
When I was dreaming, this is exactly what I dreamed about, but it's tough to accomplish these things. |
When Justin made that four-point play, that gave us the confidence to believe we could win the game. |
When we won here, Salim Stoudamire didn't play. To take him out of the equation is doing a lot. Last year, he played and we didn't win. |
