Louisville was bigger and more physical than us. Jon brings that for us now. Even if he doesn't get the rebounds, he's diving for balls and keeping other guys from getting them. He makes Mike and the rest of us play harder.
Jon is a bruiser, and Arizona has some bruisers. But, Arizona, I don't feel like they're that tough inside. We think Jon is going to have a great game.
Jon, he is just a bruiser. Arizona, we don't think they're that tough on the inside. Jon's going to have a big game inside, we think.
I think that's a credit to all past Husky teams. I'm happy to be part of it.
We've got to stop trying to cruise so much. Right now, we're just doing SOME of the things it takes to win.
We've got to really watch these guys on film. You don't see these guys on TV all the time.
He's a good player. But I still think we should have beaten them.
I'm a little shocked that their record doesn't show how good they are.
If I played on the East Coast, I think I would be a household name. But on the West Coast I'm a household name, so that's good enough for me.
I feel like I let the young guys down.
I feel terrible for him. They were having a real good season, and he was a huge part of it. I always enjoy playing against USC at its best.
I think this is the year it can happen.
Lately a lot of people have been giving me respect. You know when they don't give it to me, I just use it as motivation. Now that they're saying I'm the most complete player, I have to look for other motivation.
I was actually frustrated throughout (non-league). I was like, man, I can wait until I can start putting my print on the team.
