I've got five rings from conference tournaments and I think I know what it takes this time of year. It's the team with their heads on straight. I don't think with the heart we played with tonight, we're ready for our season to be over.

The vote of confidence is worth more to me than any extension, raise or anything. Getting to the top of league is something we can do very quickly.

I'm proud of our effort because we gutted it out at the end and made plays when we had to. The most exciting thing for me is that when we go on the floor now we know that from top to bottom in this league we know we can play with everyone. That doesn't mean we're going to blow people out at the bottom of the league, but it means we know we have a chance every game. This team is learning how to win.

We're starting to form together. But at the same time, we looked kind of rusty, plus it's kind of hard to tell without pads on, to be honest.

I'd be lying if I said I didn't think about it. But at the same time, we don't try to focus on that. Really, when it comes down to it, that's not even an option if we don't win this week. So really, all we're thinking about is Stanford right now.

Coach wants to get other guys a look and at the same time it's nice to get a few days off from throwing. It's a long long season.
