He's a nice addition for them. |
He's had two back-to-back phenomenal games, to score like that and with no turnovers. I thought he was great. |
He's just adds an element we missed. He provides energy, defense and rebounding, understanding of what we want to do and hustles. It's nice having him back, even though he's only been back for a couple of days. He's made a big difference already. |
He's reached that comfort zone. It's just all come together for him now. |
He's such a streaky shooter who can get on a rhythm, so I don't think anybody on this team feared him continuing to take shots. We knew at some point in time, he was going to get going. |
I agree to a point. They're all tough, that's the way I look at it. |
I don't know if there's a point guard in the country that has done what he's done in the last three basketball games. |
I don't think it's make or break, but we want to play and we're no different than anybody else. Whether it's four in a row or just two games, you still have to protect your home court. |
I don't think it's make or break, but we want to play well. If it's four straight or two straight, you want to protect your home court. Stanford and us are the only teams to be undefeated at home, and we want to keep it that way. The schedule turns in our favor. It doesn't matter if it's at home in the middle of the season or late, you want to win at home. |
I just don't feel that he ever got back on track after the injury. |
I think some of the fans see what has happened as surreal. But it's not to us. When we look back on these (losses), these guys will have grown. |
I think we're obviously going to need Ivan over the next few days. But I just go with who's locked in and focused. |
I think you can over analyze a lot of things. If you look at our situation we are doing a lot of good things, but we haven't shot the basketball well. We just have to stay positive and upbeat with your team, or you can bury your team. They already feel enough negative stuff from the periphery. |
I thought defense was certainly a big key in the game. We had some big stops down the stretch. The whole key was to keep Nick Young between 10 and 14 points. We did a good job of containing a great player. |
I thought it turned into another great Civil War game. It's unfortunate that we both weren't in the upper echelon of the conference having a game like this. But it was a great battle and in an environment like this. Oregon State did a terrific job. |
