fans good respect stuff trying
Stuff kind of makes me chuckle. I have respect for the fans because our fans do the same thing. They're just trying to have a good time.
basketball cage college public seem stuff
I did apologize. But what I said is not for the public to hear. It's a college basketball game. Cage didn't seem to mind. You know, he said some stuff to me.
built felt job leave might obviously opened signed situation time washington
The only time we felt he might leave was when the Washington job opened and he obviously didn't take it. I don't think there's any job out there that's better than his situation at Gonzaga. He signed a 10-year contract. He just built a house. There are always rumors, but I don't think he's going anywhere.
climb kept saying sticking trying
We have a saying at Gonzaga, 'Just keep sawing wood,' and that's what we kept doing. We just kept sticking to what we do. We really didn't make too many adjustments; we just kept trying to climb (back) in.
area becoming man
I think I'm becoming a man in that area I guess. This is all I can muster up.
believe guys people team year
That's the thing with this team. I've said it all year long, and I think people really didn't believe me, that we've got some other guys on this team that can play.
dumb emotional guys minutes nine people talking trash
You know, if we would have lost, I don't think I would have been the one complaining about what people said. It's a very emotional game. You guys have got to be dumb if you don't think they were talking trash when they were up nine with nine minutes to go.
I'm going there with the mind-set I have nothing to lose.
score
I'm not going to score 30 in every half.
clutch time
It was my time to do something, I guess. When it's clutch time at the end of the game, I know the ball's going to be in my hands.
close few games last tough
It's very important. We've had a lot of close games the last few years, and that's been tough on us and tough on our fans.
ball hands knew needs step team
I want the ball in my hands and the team needs me. I knew I had to step up (down the stretch).
night survive
It's not going to be my night every night. We still survive and win.
dumb guys talking trash
You guys have got to be dumb if you don't think they were talking trash (too).
