Everybody in the program knew what type of player he was, and we all knew he was going to have a great year. He's really improved his outside shot this year, and he's able to hit that 3-pointer consistently. That's made defenses come out on him, and then he uses his quickness and strength to drive by them. |
He just came out and played like he could play. We all know he can play like that night-in, night-out and that's what he's done; just stepping up the last couple games and carrying us. |
I think he [Williams] felt me behind him and he kept the ball right out in front of him and Justin just grabbed it. |
I think it was our best all-around team effort. Everyone got after it defensively. Everyone was shooting well. |
It was at North Carolina State, it was an early game and it didn't feel like I thought it would. There wasn't a lot of media and not a lot of crowd. |
That three-ball kind of knocked them out there. |
The second half we did a better job, but it's tough to win on the road when you turn the ball over like that. We kept fighting at the end, but we dug ourselves a hole. |
They came out fired up and their fans were really into it. We knew anytime you're on the road in a big arena, against a really good team, you've just got to weather the storm. When you get a chance to make your run, you've got to go for it, and that's what we did. |
This is big. For us to get two road wins against two really good teams shows we are a team to be reckoned with in the Pac-10. |
This is the NCAA Tournament. It doesn't get any more exciting than that. |
We just came out lackadaisical for some reason instead of trying to put them away. |
We just have to get ready to go. We have to treat every game like we're playing Arizona. We have to come out ready to play. |
We just kept trying to weather the storm. It was a sea of red. |
