We're definitely upset about that game. We feel like we let that one slip. We wanted to play them again sooner. But it's finally here. I'm looking forward to it.
We wanted to have fun and enjoy the moment. We got the win and now it is time to enjoy the moment.
That was the smoothest, easiest 25 I've had this year. I wasn't fighting against any of my teammates to get points. I was just kind of rolling in the offense. And Jamaal got his.
That was a gut check. That's what we were looking for after the last two weeks.
That was just incredible. For that year, that season, we will always be a number one seed. That's something they can never take from us.
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'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.
We can't give up hope. I've started off 0-5, so it doesn't get any worse than that. Five-and-four is not bad at all. We just have to keep scrapping and keep fighting and know that if we win this game we've got two games at home and chance to go to 7-4. The future is still bright for us.
We've got to stop trying to cruise so much. Right now, we're just doing SOME of the things it takes to win.
We've got to really watch these guys on film. You don't see these guys on TV all the time.
He's a good player. But I still think we should have beaten them.
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.
