He's a good player. But I still think we should have beaten them.
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.
Everyone's a Gonzaga now. Everyone has a chance to beat us.
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.
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.
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.
We just totally turned the page on that Thursday game. It was important not to come in here and worry about making shots, and we did a good job of that.
We're going to be a threat, inside and out.
I've seen where you can score 35 in two games in a row, and once you lose, you can't get it.
It was welcome back, Mike. It's fun having him out there because he stretches out the defense so much.
It would have been really special if he had come here. We would have been really good.
There's something about late in the game that's when I feel like I'm at my best.
Right now, we don't have very good chemistry offensively.
Practices are like they were in January. He's definitely stepped it up a lot more. We're not going to the tournament just happy to be there. We're past that level.
