I am so proud of our guys to win a game like this. To continue to just chip away, chip away and not lose your composure, that's what you love to see. We are a team. That's the only way you win games like this.
I think Brandon goes out and just concentrates on how to win the game. Sometimes he may score more, sometimes he may assist more. But what is the defense giving Brandon Roy tonight? I think he's able to take advantage of that.
Utah State expects to win their opener, they expect to advance, because they've done it before. We're very familiar with the job they've done over the years.
We didn't mention that, but we know because of those things when we say, 'We can win this game,' the guys know we can do it. When you've been there before, there's no better teacher.
That was a big win for us. I thought we played about as solid a game as we have played in a while.
Sometimes a loss, when it's over, you can go back and draw from it and improve in some areas. Whereas in a win it might not have gotten your attention.
There was a beauty to it. We're leading the nation in scoring, and we played a team that went to Cal and won, and that gives us problems. Yet we found a way to win (while) shooting 33 percent. I think that's a very positive thing.
