It's a huge stepping stone for this program to get that elite level where Washington basketball is mentioned with everyone else in the country.
aggressive change defensive guys plays strategy
We started this new trapping thing that we do and I think guys like it more. We get to be a little more aggressive and make things happen. The change in our defensive strategy allows us to be more aggressive. That plays in our favor.
against chance excited opportunity senior since
I was very excited to get a chance to play against them. It was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity since it is my senior season.
counted everybody feels great people prove team win
It feels great going back-to-back. A lot of people counted us out because we had a little controversy or whatever. But every team has its own controversy. It's just that our team's was public. We really wanted to prove to everybody that we were here to win state.
confidence everybody hate helped leaders lost might stepped stronger though true
We never lost confidence even though everybody else did. Actually, I even think it may have helped us as a team, what we had to go through, because it made us stronger as a team. The true leaders stepped up. I hate to say it, but it might have helped us.
four last players post starting
We have a lot of big dudes, and that's different. We got a lot of big guards. We're able to do things now that we weren't able to do last year. We're more of a well-rounded team. Last year, Will and Nate didn't post up. Now we have four players in the starting lineup that (post up) and just one that doesn't do that -- Justin.
catch road starting
We haven't had very many road tests, and that's starting to catch up with us a little bit.

They weren't doubling me at the time. I felt I had the advantage against...I don't even know who was guarding me. I took advantage of that opportunity.
great hit plays
They hit a great shot, and they made the plays in overtime.
aggressive
You get to be a lot more aggressive and make things happen.
ncaa tournament
There's no question. We're an NCAA tournament team.
career five points rather score trade
I told you I had something up my sleeve. But it doesn't even matter. My career high? We lost. I'd rather trade that in and score five points and win.
attentive focused
It's on me to be more focused and attentive in those situations.
deep season starting wear whatever
It's a long season and we are starting to wear down a little bit. But we've got to find whatever we need deep down to try to get this done. It's going to be tough.
