He's come in here as a true freshman with some pretty big shoes to fill and it really hasn't affected him at all. Good things come to people who work hard, and that's what's happening to him. |
I don't expect anything less than everything everyone can give. We've played some bad games this season as a team, but we've never played two in a row without energy and without effort. |
I just had to get back in the gym by myself. [The ball] just didn't feel right coming out of my hand. I tried to do other things to help out, but I just ended up hurting us more than I helped us. |
I'd give everything, I mean everything, to get a win for coach in this one. |
I'd take a bullet for him. |
If my grandmother stepped out there, I'd try to give him (Evans) that win. |
Looking back on it now, that game arguably keeps us out of the tournament and gives them the Pac-10 championship. You're not going to find many rivalry games that can have that weight. Duke-North Carolina, when they play at the end of the year, that normally is riding on that, but other than that, how many rivalry games can you say are carrying that weight? |
My heart is going to have to stop beating before I stop playing. |
No question. I play better and we have a chance. But I go out there and lay an egg. Put this on me. |
That's the intensity level you have to bring into each game and we were lacking that for whatever reason. We weren't scared going into tonight, not at all. We accepted the challenge of playing the top team in the Pac-10 at their place. |
There's no question that if I play better we have a chance. But I pretty much laid an egg. There is nobody else to put this on but me. |
Up there they were up by two at the half, this time we were up by two. Other than that, it was pretty much the same. |
We came out there wide-eyed and scared. We can't afford to have that many turnovers; we're not that offensively gifted. |
We did what we were told to do. |
We didn't do anything, nothing at all, after halftime. We'll take the confidence we got from a good first half and apply the lessons from a bad second half. We've got to do both. |
