It's always possible that we can get better than last year, but it's still too early to say that. |
It's awesome that top players from the state of Washington with a year difference in age are considered top players in the country. That says a lot for the state and how we've come along as basketball players. When I was a kid, I dreamed about this. |
It's different. Last year, our chemistry was extremely high. You see it now, there are stretches where we don't have a lot of chemistry. |
It's fun playing Oregon. It's an up-tempo game. Hopefully, we'll make some shots. |
It's important that we step up and be seniors and lead this team, and this was the best job we've done of that all season. |
It's pretty cool. It's like everybody knew it was going to happen, so they were scheduled to play at the end. |
It's something we have to work on. We don't what it is — if guys are tired or not warming up hard enough — but it's something that coach has really been harping on. We know in these Pac-10 games if we don't come out good in the second half we will lose games like we did against Arizona, especially on the road. |
It's the only way to end (the streak). It shouldn't end by losing by 15 or losing to a bad team. It was a good team. This was the way to go out if we had to. |
It's too early to say that, but I think we can do it. |
It's weird times. It's unfortunate, but we're just happy they took the right steps to make sure everybody was safe and allowed us to get out here and play basketball. |
Jon is a bruiser, and Arizona has some bruisers. But, Arizona, I don't feel like they're that tough inside. We think Jon is going to have a great game. |
Jon, he is just a bruiser. Arizona, we don't think they're that tough on the inside. Jon's going to have a big game inside, we think. |
Last year we had huge confidence because teams didn't know how quick we were or how fast we were going to play. |
Last year, with a No. 1 seed, we might have gotten a little relaxed. Now everybody's hungry. I think we have more fight. |
Lately a lot of people have been giving me respect. You know when they don't give it to me, I just use it as motivation. Now that they're saying I'm the most complete player, I have to look for other motivation. |
