We've got a lot of experience. When I was a sophomore, we were just excited to be there. Last year, being a one-seed, we just wanted to live up to expectations. This season is fun because no one is really saying much about us. We have the chance to go in there and surprise some people. We almost get to play the underdog role.
I wanted to go suit up. We've almost got the same colors.
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.
I knew tonight ASU was going to be tough and the guys were going to need me.
I knew Rogers was a little smaller than me so I knew he couldn't block my shot. It was just a blessing that it went in.
I'm just upset and disappointed in myself that I left them hanging for seven minutes (while I was on the bench). I feel like I let the young guys down.
Everyone's a Gonzaga now. Everyone has a chance to beat us.
They just dominated us in the second half.
I'm not going to try and intimidate this guy. I thought maybe he had been in the Marines or overseas.
I'm fine with it. I'm just happy we finished out with a bang.
I'm a big fan of Dee Brown. He's the heart and soul of that team and he's the first guy we've got to stop.
I'm just happy we are in the race for the Pac-10 title again.
I'm just enjoying every moment of this. I feel I'm having a pretty good senior season.
