I told them what was going to happen, and I told them how to defend it. I could have done a better job of communicating that. |
I want to make this clear. Whether it's for the Pac-10 Conference tournament championship, Pac-10 championship or second place, whatever it is, this is a big game to us. It means a lot to us, whatever way you slice it. |
I was pleasantly surprised this far away from the West Coast we had someone greeting us, but it was a nice touch. |
I would say that 90 percent of everyone involved with Martell felt like it would behoove him to go to college initially. But he was given such a great opportunity as the sixth pick, it was hard for him to turn down. |
I would say we are in a pretty good rhythm right now. |
I'm glad we've got him. |
I'm glad we've got him. I've never been around anyone on a college level that can give you so much of what you need. It's different on every night. He didn't score 20 tonight, but he played a good game. He rebounded, he defended. |
I'm not disappointed. I wouldn't trade Jon Brockman for anybody. |
I'm not quite sure how good we are. We'll find out here in the next few weeks, I guess. |
I'm not sure how good we are. |
I'm pretty loyal to wherever I'm living. |
I'm so proud of our guys. They don't have to look back and say they wish they tried a little harder. They gave it everything they had. |
I'm very happy for him. He's kept it simple and worked hard. |
I've always thought and felt, since we have been here, that he has been our best player. Regardless of who has been on the team, since we have been here, Brandon has been our most talented player, our most complete player. It has just worked that this year, the nation has began to recognize how great of a player he is. |
I've got a suspicion it didn't hurt [Roy's] cause. |
