It wasn't a big deal for me. It was a good game. I'm just happy we played a great game.
It was a great game to play in.
It's weird times. It's unfortunate, but we're just happy they took the right steps to make sure everybody was safe and allowed us to get out here and play basketball.
That really made us feel like we had a chance to win the game.
Everyone's a Gonzaga now. Everyone has a chance to beat us.
It's almost good news for us. We get to be the underdogs again.
It's almost flipped now to where they stopped going to the tournament and we started going to the tournament. He may never admit it, but he may be thinking in the back of his mind, he could be a part of that right now.
It's always possible that we can get better than last year, but it's still too early to say that.
It makes it a lot smoother. At the beginning of the game, it's more my time. Then when Jamaal comes in, I can kind of concentrate on other areas and it's more his time.
It made me see the other side of life. It made me realize, I have a chance to do something special, and I need to take advantage of it.
It's fun playing Oregon. It's an up-tempo game. Hopefully, we'll make some shots.
It's a special feeling. A lot of people wouldn't have guessed we would make it this far.
It wasn't just our goal to make it to the tournament. We wanted to make a special run in the tournament.
They were a tough team, you might not be able to tell from the stands, but out there, they were really physical.
