When we were down nine, it became a kind of desperation time for us. But three minutes is a long time.

This is the second game in a row we came out turning the ball over. The pressure is probably what caused it. When you get in a game like this, you can’t turn the ball...

He mentioned it a lot to us. He gave us a lot of examples.

I definitely think we’re playing our best basketball definitely defensively. We know what’s allowing us to win games right now.

That’s immaturity on my part.

Being turnover-free and rebounding, those are coach’s two main things. And he’s definitely a defensive-minded coach.

You’re down like that, and time is not on your side.

We just played with a lot of energy at the end. Obviously, it was desperation time. We were very fortunate tonight.

My job is to stop the opposing team’s best guard, just limit him as much as possible.

We didn’t achieve the ultimate goal. I feel incomplete.

I saw him laying there in tears. I felt for him a little bit. He has no reason to cry. He should definitely keep his head up. That’s easy to say when you won the...

We’re definitely in a different era.

He was here to do the same thing I wished to do — help restore the tradition of winning ways.

That’s the first priority, representing what’s on the front of this jersey.

I knew I couldn’t relax for a second against him. I couldn’t let him get open for a 3 or drive for a dunk, because I knew that would ignite their whole team.

I definitely feel a bond with Jordan. Him being from L.A., I got plenty of opportunities to see him play. I definitely knew I’d be coming into a school with another talented guard, and you...

He does all the little things taking charges, defending tough guys. And for a guy to rebound like he does at his size, that’s extraordinary.

It was longer than four or five minutes, that’s for sure. It seemed more like four or five hours. But it was well worth it. It’s one of the primary reasons we’re still playing right...

As far as the shot goes, I was definitely aware of the fact that I had a horrendous first half, but I’m fortunate that my teammates still had faith in me to take that shot.

It’s about restoring that tradition.

He’s not a stiff at all. So he’s able to make plays up high.

Right now we’re co-Pac-10 champs. We’re definitely not satisfied with that. We’ll enjoy this bus ride and enjoy tonight, but after that, it’s business as usual. … Being co-champs was not one of our goals....

(Guarding Morrison) isn’t something you ask for. It’s a job, whether it’s Adam Morrison or whoever the top player is on the opposing team. It’s something we do night in and night out. I’m going...

That’s the only team that’s really beaten us this year.

I saw him lying there in tears and I just felt for him. He has no reason to cry. He’s a great player and he’s going to have a great career.

What was tough for (Belmont) is that we generally don’t let up. Our defensive pressure started to take a toll, and we fought for every bucket.
