Everyone's a Gonzaga now. Everyone has a chance to beat us.
After beating Gonzaga, we knew were good enough to beat anybody. Now I'll be disappointed if we don't go deep in the (NCAA) tournament.
They get up to play us. I don't know if they can beat Oregon, but if they got us in the first round, maybe. ... It's their ability to get us to play their style of basketball. We can't play at that pace. ... If you ask me if the Cougars are a last-place team, I'd say no.
That's special the way that team beat us and broke our record at home. So it was good to come in here and spoil their Senior Night.
If you would have asked me at the beginning of the season, I'd have said Oregon would be in the top five (in the league). On paper, they've got a really good team. That's why you never go in there and say we're going to beat them. They've got the personnel to beat us.
He's a good player. But I still think we should have beaten them.
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.
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.
