It was nice to lead off the game and kind of set the tone for us.

This is a great schedule. We open at home on ESPN against Washington State. That game will set the tone. It's a tough, competitive schedule, and I'm excited about it.

I'm more disappointed how we played in the first half. It kind of set the tone for the game. In the second half, we probably outplayed them in every facet of the game. ... We just didn't execute in the last three minutes.

We set the tone from the start of the game that we were going to play hard and make it tough on them. We were able to force them out of a lot of stuff that they were running comfortably in the first game.

It set the tone for the rest of the game, ... We used it as a motivator and never looked back.

We came out and set the tone, set the pace. Our on ball pressure was outstanding.
