19 Quotes by Matt Mahar

We knew we would have to set the tone and control the tempo the first five minutes of the second half.

We held Diggs to 16 points, so we did a good job on him, but that Dykstra has one of the prettiest shots I have ever seen. I felt like we defended him pretty well, but he scored 29 points, so I guess I can't say we held him down.

He's capable of playing well and we know it. It's just hard to get him on the floor when Chris is going so well. We knew he would be able to step up.

He was great as usual. I think he proved he should be on that (all-West Region) first team.

I thought that was a huge factor with the rebounding margin.

I think we played well, played hard. I think they took us out of our game by ejecting Zack.

I thought our guys came out really hard, and played well. I thought we played a lot of good defense.

I think if we come ready to play, it will be another good game. They shoot the ball well.

We really needed this one. If we had lost, we would not be going anywhere. Chris Reaves and Zach Whiting were the keys tonight.
