Leon Powe Good Quotations

We came here talking about how this was a big game, not an ordinary game. We needed this win. We were on our home floor. It's important to protect the home court. If you can do that, you have a good chance of winning a Pac-10 championship.

They converged whenever I got the ball and I had a long way to go. If I got past the first man, they were waiting for me in the lane. They did a very good job defensively. They didn't let me get it where I wanted to get it.

After that game we were down on ourselves. We let a team come in and get wide-open looks. That's not playing good defense.

That's a good team. What we have to do is play our defense and our rules and may the best team. That's just how it goes in the tournament.

I'm not a committee person, but I think we're good (for a spot). Hopefully we'll be in there.

I looked at the score, and said I'd rather win than jack up a bunch of shots. We've got some good players. It ain't just me on this team.

I don't know if they go by if you rank in your league, or the games you win and lost, or our RPI. I think we still have a fairly good chance. We still have the (conference) tournament to go. I still think we have a good shot to win, but we have to get some wins now. We've lost a couple in a row down the stretch here, and they look at that, too.
