caught challenge close late plays team throws
I think our team can take any challenge a team throws at us. If we get caught in a close game, I think we can make the right plays late in the game.
funny handle harsh prepared
I think I'm prepared for it, just because of my personality and the way I am. I know there's going to be some harsh things, some funny things. I'm going to try and take it all in as a joke, go out there and handle my business.
easier half realized second trying
I think I kind of realized in the second half that it was easier to penetrate, because they were overplaying so much. I think I just realized it too late. In the first half, I was just trying to get us in our offense.
took
I think he took that out on them.
heads
I think it would be the same way if we were No. 4 or No. 20. I think Connecticut is Connecticut. They're going to want to take our heads off.
fire
Play With Fire, ... there's no iBook in team.
coming craig drop easier game guard man playing plays starting step teammates top trying
Playing with Craig makes it a lot easier for me. And I think what's a lot easier for me is a lot easier for our team. When I'm coming off a lot of off-the-ball picks, it's more of a 4-on-3 game than it is 5-on-5, starting at the top and trying to set up the offense. When I'm coming off screens, I think I can make my teammates better because their man is going to have to step up and guard me. I think I can drop it off. If not, I think I can make plays alone.
lie playing
Playing a No. 16 seed, sometimes you think they are going to lie down and give us the win. We need to go out and take the first hit.
people prove questioned whether win
People have questioned whether we can win on the road. We've got to prove that we can.
chance people underdog
People may look at us as an underdog because we are not doing as well, but we have a chance to restart.
determination second staying won
Staying poised. That's what really won us the game. Also determination in the second half.
beat beaten double good home proved reckoned stanford talented team tells
Stanford is a real good team, a talented team, so to beat them at home that's a big statement. That tells you how well our team played. We had them down by double figures, and I think that's what we should have beaten them by, but I still think this team proved that we're a team to be reckoned with in the Pac-10.

elite great season solid won
I think we had a solid season. We had 30 wins. That's a big season for us. We won the Big East. We got to the Elite Eight. It's a great season, but I think we could have done a lot more.
