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.
Brockman has passed our expectations. He can defend and score. He's stepped in there and done the job.
Washington is taking a huge step in being a power program.
It's weird times. It's unfortunate, but we're just happy they took the right steps to make sure everybody was safe and allowed us to get out here and play basketball.
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.
This is the first night that me, Bobby and Jamaal all got on the same page. It's important that we step up and be seen. If we get on the same page night in, night out, we can be a really good team.
He's labeled as a freshman, but we don't look at him as a freshman anymore. He's not afraid. The kid's a warrior. When he hit that shot, came back and knocked his free throw down, that really made us feel like we had a chance to win this game. He stepped up big time.
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.
