Jon, he is just a bruiser. Arizona, we don't think they're that tough on the inside. Jon's going to have a big game inside, we think.
Hopefully we can repeat what last year's team did and win the Pac-10 tournament. But the goal of chasing last year's team is over. We feel like this team can do some special things in the NCAA tournament.
Some guys who go through big emotional swings like that want to transfer or drop out. But he's doing a good job of adjusting and trying to help his team win, so I think that's great.
I don't think he was sure how we were going to respond to him. He was a little down. He was pretty upset he made that mistake.
I don't think it's a big secret that he'll be leaving.
I agree with that. We don't want to go in with a big head, but we know what we can do.
He just couldn't get in the groove tonight. I have to thank my teammates for that.
He knows I won't hesitate to pass the ball to somebody else to hit the game-winning shot. He knows I just want to win.
Guys made shots tonight. It didn't have to be a 'Brandon Roy makes shots down the stretch' night, and that's fine with me.
I think every coach in the league would agree he's one of the better players. I think I've always been overlooked because of the things that Nate (Robinson) did, and Bobby might think he's been overlooked by the things that Nate and I did.
I think he made up for the Stanford game.
I think Jamaal plays better with a chip on his shoulder.
We wanted to have fun and enjoy the moment. We got the win and now it is time to enjoy the moment.
We've been getting blown out here all three years since I've been here, even in the win. This has been a tough place to play.
