Brandon Ewing Quotations

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

If we play like we played today, we're definitely going to win at New Mexico.

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.

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.

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.

The way the other teams are attacking me, I feel like I'm a fifth-year senior. (The Lobos) were talking trash to me, but it's all a part of the game. There were no personal attacks. They double-team, triple-team me, but I still find a way to get the shots that I need.

They got kinda physical with us. It is tough to get into an offensive rhythm with any team that gets physical, but the thing that we've gotta do is we've got to get physical back.

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.
