controlled defense great green guard guys inside players point room supposed tempo
They have two great players down low, but the guys around them can also play. Brewer is great. Green controlled the tempo and did what a point guard is supposed to do. Humphrey stretches the defense so far. You can't get off him to help. So, those guys on the inside have a lot of room to work.
bunch change coaches favorite great guys matter second seems style team
It was really their program, their style of play. No matter who your favorite team is, it seems like Gonzaga is your second favorite. It's a great program. They have a great bunch of guys and coaches but so do we. I wouldn't change it for the world.
close early good guys scary seen talent watching year
He's done so much but you guys haven't seen anything yet. I see talent and I told him early in the year that he was going to be so good. I could see just by watching him practice. Some of the things he would do were amazing. The scary part is he doesn't even know how good he is yet. He's not even close to his potential.
adversity believed besides explain feels guys incredible injuries job locker pay phenomenal room work year
That was our goal, to keep them off-balance all game. We did a phenomenal job of that. I can't even explain how incredible this feels. Besides the guys in the locker room and our supporters, no one believed we could do it. To work our butts off and go through adversity and injuries all year long and have it pay off, it feels incredible.
attitude coach coaches definitely few guys lucky work
I definitely think with the way coach Howland coaches and the guys we have in the program, with their character, attitude and work ethic, we could get here again. Nothing is promised, and we were lucky a few times to get here this time, but we could do it.

We just do what it takes to win and we're smart. If it's in our best interest to push the ball up the floor, that's what we do. We're not worried about selling tickets. When you're winning games, people come -- no matter what the score is.

We spend most of our time on defense. It started from day one. ... We're always going to be physical. We have to be because in order to beat a team, you have to rebound, and to rebound you have to be physical.
