My teammates like me, they enjoy me. I'm not being too dominant in the locker room or anything like that. As long as all the things are good, I'm having fun.

This means a lot. This is my last go-around. I don't want to go out a loser. I want to go to the NCAA tournament. We could be the first UW team to go three times in a row since I don't know when. So this is all stuff I want to be part of.

He knows I won't hesitate to pass the ball to somebody else to hit the game-winning shot. He knows I just want to win.

We've been getting blown out here all three years since I've been here, even in the win. This has been a tough place to play.

He's still a sophomore. He's had good games. He's a good player. As he gets older, he'll do more. Big guys can do it, but it's hard for a guard to come in and dominate this conference.

Every school district has training in place for bus drivers. Every school district has guidelines for safety on buses. The coaches take care of the kids, and the drivers take care of the road. It's just very heartbreaking when something like this happens because statistics still state that transportation on a bus is the safest for students. Our hearts go out to their families.

I had a mentality to be a lot more aggressive. There were times when usually I would penetrate early and kick it out and try to find other guys. Tonight I was like, I need to be more aggressive because in bigger games, no matter what, guys are going to look to me to be more aggressive. So I have to start preparing myself now.

We do charter buses sometimes, but it just depends on the sport and how far away the game will be. We usually leave it up to the coaches to decide on whether or not a charter bus is needed.

If you would have asked me at the beginning of the season, I'd have said Oregon would be in the top five (in the league). On paper, they've got a really good team. That's why you never go in there and say we're going to beat them. They've got the personnel to beat us.

My heart goes out to all of them.

It's different. Last year, our chemistry was extremely high. You see it now, there are stretches where we don't have a lot of chemistry.

He continued to wrestle well. He moved very well on his feet. He hustles all the time and never slows down.

I'm just enjoying every moment of this. I feel I'm having a pretty good senior season.
