Brett is doing a good job, coming in as walk-on and now starting. He's doing a good job not turning the ball over, and being poised. It's really not a big surprise he's playing well because we see it in practice every day. We just commend him on his willingness to step up and take that role. The senior guards just try to give him as much advice as we can and keep him positive. |
He knew better than anyone that if I get going, I can light up Gill Coliseum, any coliseum - if I get going. And he understood that because we came in together, and we worked out many days together, many nights. It's just an understanding we had. |
I definitely think that's affected my game. Me and him have a chemistry with each other that no one else has on the court. |
I feel that we've grown every game. Our chemistry has gotten better. We're just being smarter basketball players. |
I know I wasn't ready to go home and the guys weren't, either. |
I think (my game) has been there since the season started. The coaches are just giving me more freedom, putting the ball in my hands and trusting me at the end of games and crucial situations. And I'm just trying to step up and be a leader. |
I think I played pretty good and I helped the team get their confidence back. I helped my team get their momentum back. |
I think we match up good with anybody in the Pac-10. |
I've been that type of player my whole career. I just love having the ball in my hands, especially in tight situations. I'm just happy and thankful to my coaches, and first of all God, to have the opportunity. |
It was one we definitely thought we could get. (One) we should have got at home. |
It's a great way to go out, beating the Ducks. One of our things tonight was to win for the seniors. |
It's good to have all that. But I'm just looking at the overall picture. I just want to win. I didn't know about the scoring record or the 3-point record until a couple days ago when somebody told me. I don't keep up with it. I just go out and win games. |
Losing Mike Powell was a disaster, a big blow for us, but what pulled us through was our team spirit, |
Now that Nick went down, it gives a lot of people opportunities to step up and play. And a lot of people are excited about that and fired up. I think you could tell out there in the last game. |
The elephant ear was great. I figured I'd bring (my girlfriend) down as a surprise and get an elephant ear. |
