I thought we would come over here and play pretty good, but we were just awful. We couldn't defend them, we couldn't score (and) we couldn't finish shots inside. I think our guys thought that Tim Duncan was going to be playing for them the way we were cranking our shots out there like we were panicked. That's been a problem for us and it was pretty obvious this game.

I think we can win the whole thing. If we stay focused, we can win state.

I told the team that I don't care who you are, if you're not guarding your guy, you're not going to play.

They are hard to guard on the perimeter as Pacific found out.

This is a good road win for us. But it was indicative of how we have played on the road - really good at times and other times not so good. We are striving to find some kind of consistency.

You want to try to have the best game you can have because you will never get the chance to play a home game here again. We played a good game, but we could have done better on offense and defense. We could have done much better.

They were playing on a whole other level than the first time we played them or since I've seen them. Their offense was working great tonight.

Last year our role was to practice against those players, and I always knew that that was my role. All the newspapers said that we lost Julian and we lost some other guys and we had no talent. But we always knew we could get here.

I personally felt like I didn't play strong in the first half, and I was not going to have my season end that way. I decided I was going to come out in the second half and play the way I knew I could.
