It's obvious that Lamar was our most valuable player. At Oregon State University at this particular time, if you lose your most valuable player it's hard. |
It's unfortunate for him. He's playing the best he's ever played. It's amazing the growth he's made in the last month. And the command he has. So I feel bad for Lamar. |
Jason needs to reaffirm his commitment to the Oregon State basketball program. |
Jason's approach to things now has been great. He's working as hard on defense as on offense. He's into it. This is a big week for him. He's ready to play right now; that's a great frame of mind to be in here on Tuesday. |
Last year, we ran certain things and did some things, but many times it was when in doubt, throw the ball to David and just hit space. ... And we don't quite have that. In the last 15 seconds of a shot clock, we are nowhere near as efficient. |
Marcel getting into foul trouble early in the game hurt us. His ability to rebound is something that has made our defense better all year long. |
My sense is (today) he'll be a lot better. He has some tightness in his left shoulder and he'll have to work through it. He'll be able to play. |
Neither team was stopping each other and then Chris Hernandez had a stretch there that changed everything. The big shot he hits, the 3-pointers, and then he gets bumped and the parade continues. Having that happen where they get a lot of points at the line was one of my biggest fears. |
No power on earth has a right to take our property from us without our consent. |

Obviously going down 21-2, we were buried, plain and simple. We were buried. The fact the rest of the game ended up the way it did (was better). The game was over. |
Ryan Appleby just blew us up in the second half. |
Shoot, he plays every position on the court. He's just a guy who hurts you in whatever position he plays no matter who guards him. |
Staying hydrated is an important part in getting back, but Jack is fine. |
That goes without saying. It looks good (to be at home for so long), but if you don't perform and get it done, it won't look as good. |
