I think he did some good things. I don't think I'll do any cartwheels based on how anybody played.

I still think there's a lot of encouraging things happening. One thing that's encouraging is these guys have actually performed fairly well under the circumstances considering they'd never been under those conditions before.

We knew the dad wasn't overly thrilled about everything, but we always thought David was fine. I thought he had a good freshman year.

We're not quite as top heavy as what we've been in years past. The talent level is so close to equal that there's more chance for upsets. There is less discrepancy one through 12.

Based on reports we received on campus from housing and academics, he has fulfilled requirements to check out as a student and is presently in Spokane, with the intent to attend Gonzaga. Micah will be issued a release to visit with (Gonzaga coach Mark Few) and attend Gonzaga University.

I thought it was a physical game before the game started. I mean before the opening tip. I don't know that the intentional foul made it more physical. I think it made officials call more stuff after that.

I thought it was two teams playing really hard. I thought Oklahoma State played really tough and it rebounded well and pressured us out of what we wanted to do. We kind of did the same to them for awhile.

I thought Mario deserved third team, and I thought Russell (Robinson) deserved honorable mention, but there's a lot of other coaches that say the same thing about their players. Brandon certainly played at a certain level and led us from start to finish. He's deserving of that.

Fans are fans. I've said this many times: If I didn't expect there to be fallout when you don't perform well, then I shouldn't have taken the job.

Anybody can have a bad half. He came out and was great the second half. It all went through Aaron.
