I'm happy that we moved up and can start a new streak. After winning our last three road games at Utah by 30 and at Washington State and Washington this past weekend, I wasn't sure if that was going to happen. I'm relieved to be back in the poll.

We had the right guys at the line. That's what you have to do to win games. Against Washington, we didn't hit those, and it cost us the game.

We're a quick team defensively. We're a quick team to convert turnovers.

I've always felt the first five minutes of the second half were critical. That sets a tone. We came out with fire in our eyes in that second half.

There was so much hype about Gonzaga they just couldn't carry it through.

It's like going into Madison Square Garden, except it's not a neutral site. Every kid knows about it and it's a storied program. I think our guys are relishing this. It's good to step away from the league this one time. It's not game that will count against the conference standings.
