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.
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.
bad believed example guys held missed night normally people perfect pick shots team
I've said all year, and I don't think people really believed me, but we have other guys on this team that can play. This is a perfect example of when I'm having a bad night that everyone else can pick me up ... I just missed some shots I normally make, but you have to give them credit. They held me down.
raw
We feel like we're just getting the raw end of the deal, and we kind of like it.
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.
area becoming man
I think I'm becoming a man in that area I guess. This is all I can muster up.
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.
happy
I'd be happy with 20 and the win.
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.
dumb guys talking trash
You guys have got to be dumb if you don't think they were talking trash (too).
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.
night survive
It's not going to be my night every night. We still survive and win.
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).
