Being turnover-free and rebounding, those are coach's two main things. And he's definitely a defensive-minded coach.
competitor definitely fact felt great head laying outside player reason rest running saw tears win
I was running around celebrating with the rest of my team. But I saw him laying there in tears a little bit. I just felt for him. He's a great player. There's really no reason for him - outside the fact that he's a competitor and wanted to win - that he has to cry. He's a great player and he's going to have a great (NBA) career. He should definitely keep his head up.
definitely easy felt game good head laying opponent reason saw won
I saw him laying there in tears. I felt for him a little bit. He has no reason to cry. He should definitely keep his head up. That's easy to say when you won the game and your opponent lost. But I just really wanted to see him still in a good mood.

We're definitely focused on Saturday. There was no dumping water or things of that nature. We're on a six-game mission, one game at a time.

I knew all along this team could be at the top and remain at the top, because we definitely have the personnel. If we put our mind to it, play 'D' and do all the right things, play for each other, we shouldn't lose.

As far as the shot goes, I was definitely aware of the fact that I had a horrendous first half, but I'm fortunate that my teammates still had faith in me to take that shot.
bus business definitely enjoy ride satisfied
Right now we're co-Pac-10 champs. We're definitely not satisfied with that. We'll enjoy this bus ride and enjoy tonight, but after that, it's business as usual. ... Being co-champs was not one of our goals. It was being Pac-10 champs.
bond coming definitely enjoy knew plenty school talented
I definitely feel a bond with Jordan. Him being from L.A., I got plenty of opportunities to see him play. I definitely knew I'd be coming into a school with another talented guard, and you have to enjoy that.

We're not playing for just our team, our university. We're trying to carry on something that John Wooden started.
circumstance despite injuries laugh obstacles rehab team
This team is still very good, despite all the injuries, despite all the unfortunate circumstances and obstacles we've had to overcome. I still think we can win. All these injuries are tough, but all you can do is laugh at them, get in rehab and recover.
defensive dominant knew played team
We knew if we played at that pace, we weren't going to win. We're a pretty dominant defensive team right now.

What was tough for (Belmont) is that we generally don't let up. Our defensive pressure started to take a toll, and we fought for every bucket.

We just played with a lot of energy at the end. Obviously, it was desperation time. We were very fortunate tonight.
