I saw him laying there in tears. I felt for him a little bit. He has no reason to cry. He should definitely keep his head up. That's easy to say when you won the game and your opponent lost. But I just really wanted to see him still in a good mood.
I wanted to congratulate him on a good year, but I didn't want to do anything dramatic, like hug him for an hour.
We'll be very good next year. This team knows what it takes to get to this point. We should be right back here, hopefully.
We just needed to execute. We were getting good shots. We were just missing them. What changed was on the defensive end.
We know how tough it is in Oregon and we know both of them are very good teams. We don't expect a cakewalk at all. Neither one will be easy.

This is a good opportunity to see how I can compete against NBA players. If I'm able to do so, that will assist my decision, but otherwise, I will be coming back to a great situation. We have a great team and I would love to be a part of it. I had a lot of fun this year.
He does all the little things -- taking charges and defending guys. He's very good and he improved throughout the year. You can just see it in his confidence and swagger on the floor. He knows what makes him a good player.
