People haven't been picking us all season. We weren't even picked in our own [Pacific 10] conference. |
People just don't know how skilled Luc is. People don't appreciate how athletic he is. I knew it even before practice began, when he was playing in the summertime in the Men's Gym. The sky is the limit for him. |
Ryan is a special guy. All he cares about is his team. He's just doing everything Coach has asked him to do, and he's getting it done for us. There's been some bumps in the road, but that shows how mentally tough he is. |

The way we played tonight was just outstanding. But we're not satisfied. Hopefully, we've got one more of these in us. |
There were probably times when it seemed like I wasn't playing tough. But everything happens for a reason. |
There were several times when I thought we were about to make a run. But every time we did, they had answers. |
There's no time to be tired now. This is it. You lose, you go home and we don't want to go home. |
This is one of the best defensive performances I've ever been a part of. |
This is special and this is a special group of guys. We play defense. That's what we do. We didn't let them walk over us. |
To see one man go for a multitude of points, that's pretty ... that's kind of tough. |
We can't hang our heads after everything we went through to get here. We came within one win of a national championship. I plan to take some time and reflect on all this. It's a special time in my life I'll never forget. |
We couldn't stop them. We couldn't keep the ball in front of us the whole game. They drove on us all night and got easy baskets. |
We definitely have the personnel to play defense. We're athletic. We have a quick team. I think it goes with coach Howland. He came in and built a program and made us play defense. |
We just could not stay in front of the ball. |
