Lamar Hurd Quotations

My mom is going to be in town, and the last time she saw me leave the court it was limping and hobbling. I want to walk off the court one last time.

I think for the most part we are ready. We are Pac-10 home ready, that's for sure. It's going to be a wait-and-see thing to see how we play on the road. It's going to be a great test for us against the Ducks to see how we play over there.

We are playing good basketball right now. It's hard to not be part of it. I felt like I was playing well, and I wanted to play better. I felt like I was able to give more, and now I'm not able to. The timing is as bad as it could get. But even with all those things, I'm a firm believer that things happen for a reason. I think something good is going to come out of it.

The timing is about as bad is it can get. I was playing pretty decent, our team is playing well, (and) it's my last year.

Coaches are just making a conscious effort to get him the ball. It's just Chris being Chris. Chris has always been a scorer. And any time a guy has it going on, we are going to get him the ball. And he's been hot, so we are going to ride him out.

They take you out of your offense, and what it forces you to do is make plays. We're either going to have a high success rate of making individual plays, scoring the basketball, being on the attack, or there's going to be some turnovers.

It's looking pretty bad right now. I can't do much more than a moderate walk. I've never had this type of injury before. I'm just trying to be as optimistic as possible, but it's hard to be optimistic. It was hard Saturday.

It's looking pretty bad right now. I can't do anything much more than a moderate walk without it pulling, tugging on me.

That's a game that has the most implications for the most importance in the state. We know what it means to us, and our fans. If you can't get up for that, you shouldn't be suited up for that game.

They went right through us for a while. They made some big shots and all of a sudden we have to come back and answer and we couldn't.

I just want to get back on the court one more time. Ten seconds or 10 minutes. My mom's going to be out there. The last time she saw me leave the court it was limping and hobbling.

I just want to get back on the court one more time. If that's for 10 seconds or 10 minutes, then that's what I'm going to do. I'll be suited up and I'll be out there, I just don't know how long. It could be very short though.

I knew it was going to be emotional when I got out there. All these memories came back to me. But being able to do that and go out with a win, that's the best I could ask for.

I feel it's better than when we came. You look at the circumstances (this season), there's a lot of things that had nothing to do with the coaches. Next year when people see the new team here and guys are healthy, then you'll see the product.
