We're doing the best we can. We're consistently trying to get better. Without having some athleticism, it's important that we are disciplined and sound fundamentally. |
We're going to have to play better than that (against South Dakota State) to beat Hawaii. We've got to play better than that. |
We've got good shooters. That's finally starting to pay off for us at the line. Our percentages have steadily gone up as the year has gone on. |
What happens is you get recharged. I will be very surprised if we don't play with a lot of energy tomorrow night. Just the situation recharges you. |
What I find really ironic is that on Selection Sunday, we were one of the teams everybody said didn't belong. Then all of the sudden, we're the upset special. How does that work? |
What I find really ironic is we were one of the teams everybody said didn't belong, then all of a sudden, we're the upset special. How the heck does that work? It shows you how crazy it is. I don't think Washington looks at us and says they're the underdog. |
When it gets to be late January, early February, most guys would rather play a game than have a week of practice and only one game. We did what we needed to do. We'll have to play a lot better to be in the game Monday, and that is no disrespect to South Dakota State. |
When you look at the stats, you wonder why it was so close. But then you see the turnovers. We made some uncharacteristic plays that just weren't us. |
When you shoot 61 percent from the field and 58 percent from three, you should win. |
You can talk about all the ways we struggled, but it goes in the left hand column and that's all that matters. We dodged a bullet and got out with a win. We're glad to be 2-2 [in conference play]. |
You got to have your veterans come through to win a game like that. |
You hope that your whole team helps defend Roy. We have to possibly double him. It's not going to be one-on-one and if it is, we're probably in trouble. They've got a lot of other good guys he can pass to. |
You just hope somebody is listening. I think it says what most of the (conference) coaches and players feel. It's a strong conference. |
Your first deal is elation. After a couple of hours it is OK, what do we need to do know to compete in this game. |
