We deserved that one lucky bounce at the end with how we've been working this year and everything that has happened to us during the year. We definitely deserve that bounce. If he would have made that or if he got fouled, it would have been Armageddon. |
We didn't deserve to win. That's how basketball is. If we fought hard those final shots would drop. If we merited to win, those final shots would drop. But they played a better game. |
We haven't lost a lot of games here. When we do, it's a shock. It feels weird, but the only thing we can do is go on the road and get one back. |
We knew they were going to make a run; we knew it. Their run ended and we look up and they were only up by a few points. And that was all they got. And then we came out and played better. |
We really didn't think about the final standings. We knew we were going in as one of the bottom four teams. Honestly, we just wanted to get a win for our fans. Beating Oregon was on our minds. That gives us a lot confidence for the next game. It especially feels great for the fans and the seniors. There was no better way to go out. |
We started rushing. That's a problem we have when things start going wrong on the defensive end. It affects our offense and that leads to fast-break points. |
We'd forgotten how it feels to win. We came into the locker room feeling like we'd won the tournament or something. We were jumping and celebrating. |
We're on the right track. We'll be good. This was a good effort. The best effort we had in a long time. We have to get back on Monday and get ready for the next two games. |
