We laid it on the line. I have no regrets.

I just make sure the ball goes in the hoop. That’s it. At the same time, you gotta be careful. But he wasn’t that type of player; he wasn’t going to go under you.

They’re not going to back down, and we won’t, either. It’s going to be a challenge, but right now you’ve got to accept the challenge and be ready to go.

Everybody’s confidence is coming around. This is going to be a good season for us. Everybody is on the same page. Nobody cares about anything else but winning basketball games.

I just try to make sure he’s all right, that he’s good as a person.

We definitely made a statement. The past two, three years they’ve had our number, so it’s fun to come in here and get a game with U-dub.

A couple of other Senior Days we’ve gone out on top. But when I think of my career here, a smile comes to my face.

We laid it on the line. No regrets. We wanted to get it done real bad and we came together. People doubted us in this tournament.

It wasn’t frustrating at all. We just wanted to go out there and get the W. We were ready to go.

We’ve been practicing that every day.

On any given night, or any given day, the ball can bounce any way.

Cal and Stanford are always tough houses – always! We just have to play our game, do what we’ve been doing and keep the crowd out of it.

They wouldn’t go away. This game is going to be [regarded as] a classic.

We wanted to take him out of what he was good at and comfortable at. Maybe we could have done a better job.

Our game speaks, but we like to speak, too. We try to go at your head and try to make a statement.

I am not going to lose. I’m going to do what it takes, if it is offense or rebounding. My team feeds off me.

I accept the coach’s decision to be suspended from the Pac-10 tournament. I wish the team well and hope for its success. I’m looking forward to participating in the NCAA Tournament if Arizona is invited.

They’ve got a little confidence in beating (California) on the road. It’s good because we want to have a challenge when we go up there anyway.

We’ve been working hard for it. All we can do is just keep getting better. We’ll turn some heads.

He really got on us. Big time.

We were well-prepared. It took us a week to get ready.

(The hype) speaks for itself. It’s a big game, and we’re going to be prepared.

I feel this is a clean slate, zero and zero. The preseason was good for us, but not like we wanted it, but we came out OK. This is where you start from scratch.

I apologize to the team, to the coaches, the university and the fans for my violation of a team rule. I accept the coach’s decision to be suspended from the Pac-10 Tournament. I wish the...

It is going to be great to have him back because of his intensity.

He got in me. I couldn’t take it out of the way. He told me, ‘We ain’t going to win without you.’ It’s the truth, man. They look at me and I gotta be ready....

You gotta keep throwing blows. The biggest thing I tried to stress was that the toughest team was going to win.

The love they give me is unbelievable. I’m grateful that I was part of this, the Arizona basketball team.

I take the blame for this one. Being a senior, I should be able to do more. . . . I’m not blaming it on that one possession (where he lost it). We were up...

This is the second season. This is where we start. We’ll put the preseason behind us. This is the time where we need to be focused. This is about getting better in practice every day.

We have to stay on our toes because they will be coming for us. They are at home so we’ll have to bring our ‘A’ game.

I was just being me. They feed off me. (Coaches said) ‘If you don’t stay aggressive, who else is going to be aggressive?’ So I took that in and slept on it. That was big.

Man, this was big. It was emotion. It wasn’t boasting. That’s my role on my team. My team, my coaches put that confidence in me.

In playing four years, I became a man. You go though a lot of trials and tribulations. And you go through a lot of good and you go through a lot of bad. At the...

We’re going to win all seven; that’s my plan. I don’t know about all that other stuff.

It was just our intensity. We wanted to put them away. We went on a little run and wanted to keep pushing it down their throat.

No team wants to go through that.

That was a big one, man. We know how good we are. It’s just us going out there playing. We went out, played our game and had fun doing it. It’s a confidence thing.

Stuff like that I don’t worry about because I can’t control it.

We came together more in these last two games than any team I’ve played for in my four years at Arizona.

An average first half and we pull it out.

It’s going to be big. It’s a big road game for us, and we just want to keep things going. The team chemistry is going good, too.

We like flying under the radar. If we make it to the Final Four, we won’t care what (ranking) number is beside our name.

We know how good we are. We’re just going there and playing our game. It’s a confidence thing.

I felt protected around her. She was like a big sister to me.

We are all right. We’re not going to underestimate anybody. We knew we could play with anybody. It was best to go out there and show it. Our confidence is up and skyrocketing.

I told him at the beginning of the year he’s going to be the X-factor. His upside is unbelievable. He needs to keep doing what he’s doing. He’s a great player.

(The Badgers) were throwing up a lot of contested shots, and we were getting rebounds and pushing it down. We played our game. We put them in a situation where they were on their heels...

Just like any other game, we need to put this behind us and look at some film. We wanted the ‘W,’ but we have to learn from it either way. We’ll bounce back.

Our defense got them out of their comfort zone. We limited them to one shot, and with our guards getting the rebounds, we were pushing the fast break.
