Mark Trakh Quotations

There were some brutal possessions on our part in the last four minutes.

Holy cow, they're a great team. Where do you beat them? They have all the ingredients.

Luckily we won the game by two, but I thought it was a well-played game. Both teams played very, very well, and I'm just proud of the kids. We won a lot of close games this year.

To be honest with you, ASU had its first off game of the year, and luckily it was against us. (ASU) will come out playing hard and go after it today. They are an excellent team. We know we are in for a tough game.

They are going to be scary for a long time. And I'm including this year when I say that.

They are built for this tournament right now. That's why I think they can go pretty deep.

It seems every time we play Washington, it goes down to the wire.

Those last four minutes we played not to lose instead of to win, that's something we can't do.

For the survivor of this, it's going to be quite an accomplishment. There are a lot of good teams in the conference and a lot of people can beat other people. It's going to be saying something to win this tournament.

We're a game out of first place right now, so who knows? These kids never cease to surprise me with the things they can do so, you know, let's just go out and play. If we get two (wins) this weekend we're really really in a good position.
