It was welcome back, Mike. It's fun having him out there because he stretches out the defense so much.
Mike stretches the defense out so much. Late in the game I started getting fouled a lot because I started penetrating the middle and guys didn't know whether to help or not because Mike had hit six or seven threes.
Mike just stretched the defense out and it created more opportunities for me to drive. He came out so aggressive.
We had a big lead and I think we just got content with trying to outscore them and not play defense and get stops. Part of it was me. I missed a lot of shots down the stretch. ... I made those shots at the end but I missed a lot that could have let us keep the lead. I'm disappointed in myself.
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.
