It's important that we step up and be seniors and lead this team, and this was the best job we've done of that all season.
It was a matter of who was going to make the most plays down the stretch. We did a better job at that than they did.
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 are a physical team and we're scrappy. Tonight I think we did a good job of coming out and showing everybody that we're a scrappy team and we can hold some leads in the second half.
Some guys who go through big emotional swings like that want to transfer or drop out. But he's doing a good job of adjusting and trying to help his team win, so I think that's great.
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.
