When you defend you have a chance. I've said it, I've said it, and I've said it. We have a chance and its great to see our guys believe on the defensive end.

They made some plays down the stretch, they kept their composure, I think experience was a factor.

There were only two or three teams in this league right now that really challenge at the end, and we were one of them.
achievement care conference great nail road shows team tough win
It's a great accomplishment. That shows how tough this conference is. For any team in a tough conference, when you can go and nail down a win on the road in your opener, that's a statement. I don't care where you are or who you're playing.

It's a great position for us to be in. It's an honor to be able to play for a Pac-10 championship. I'm happy for our players that they're going to have the opportunity to fight for the championship. That's what you dream of as a player and as a coach.

It's a different game for us if we knock those down. That really takes the air out of you.

They're both good basketball players. I like having those options with those guys.

They're not going to give you easy baskets. They make it tough to get to the interior.

That's OK. He sure made things look easy for us. It's good to see him become a basketball player.

They've got a little edge right now, but we're going to have to take that edge away somehow, psychologically.
