Brandon Roy Against Quotations

I feel terrible for him. They were having a real good season, and he was a huge part of it. I always enjoy playing against USC at its best.

That was the smoothest, easiest 25 I've had this year. I wasn't fighting against any of my teammates to get points. I was just kind of rolling in the offense. And Jamaal got his.

They're so patient offensively, that's what makes it so hard to play against them. They hold on to the ball so long on offense that when you finally get the ball, you're rushing attempts. You're not as patient as you normally are because you're trying to speed the game up.

They're going to stay packed in and try to force you to make jump shots. That's something we've been working on all week, going against a zone and a sagging man-to-man and making sure we still penetrate and don't just settle for outside shots.

He's made me a better player over four seasons. All summer, we played pick-up basketball and we'd match up against one another. When I penetrate to the basket, there are times when he stops me. His ability to guard big men and small guys definitely helps.
