It was really their program, their style of play. No matter who your favorite team is, it seems like Gonzaga is your second favorite. It's a great program. They have a great bunch of guys and coaches but so do we. I wouldn't change it for the world. |
It was stiff. But we're going to have to play through these challenges. We're getting our character tested. |
It won't really sink in for a while. Just to be a part of it is something special. I don't know where we got it from, but we dug deep and got it done. |
It's a great feeling. But anybody on the team should feel just as special, just as involved, because without the entire team effort, that play never is possible. |
It's all of us. That's what people don't understand. They understand that we play defense, but they don't understand we play it all together. All it takes is effort and positioning and togetherness. Five guys doing it, knowing what the job is. |
It's been very frustrating. I wish I could put on the uniform and get out there sometimes. But it teaches you a lot about patience. |
It's not any special recipe. |
It's not any special recipe. It's just really sucking up, defending and playing hard on that end of the ball. |
No matter what the score is, there's always a chance. Some crazy things can happen, and some crazy things happened today. |
No matter what the sport is, you always want to beat SC. It's definitely big, even though the rankings might not show it. |
Nobody really believed in us. Nobody believed we could do it. |
Not really nerve-racking at all. Just got to stay composed and do what we've been doing. If we play defense and rebound and play together, good things happen. |
Our defense is always a total team effort. It's five guys with the same goal, really helping each other out at all times. It's not going to be any different for this game. |
Right after that game I said, I hope this will be a blessing in disguise and we can start something special down the stretch and I think it really did. |
Six blocks. He definitely was a factor. |
