It's good for any team in the conference, any team in the country, to get off to a start like that. It just gives you a lot of confidence. If we can start out 4-0, then that can extend to 5-0 and 6-0.

I don't know that we wanted Air Force, but I just want to keep playing. I want to keep playing through Saturday so we can celebrate on Sunday. I don't care if we've got to play (first-place and top-seeded) San Diego State. I just want to keep playing as the days go on.

I'm just excited for Air Force.

Whether you're at home or away a good team knows how to keep a lead, especially with the pace (the Cougars) run. When they get up nine or 10 they know how to run and they can hold the ball for at least 30 seconds. It's kind of hard to get that back. So they're actually on defense when they're on offense and they do a pretty good job with that.

I did what I always do, and I went 1-for-10. I took the same shots, took my four 3s, drove to the basket a few times, but I didn't get the free-throw line as much as I usually do. They did a good job of not fouling me.

Wow. We heard he could shoot, but he did a pretty good job.
