It's almost good news for us. We get to be the underdogs again.

It's the only way to end (the streak). It shouldn't end by losing by 15 or losing to a bad team. It was a good team. This was the way to go out if we had to.

It's too early to say that, but I think we can do it.

It's awesome that top players from the state of Washington with a year difference in age are considered top players in the country. That says a lot for the state and how we've come along as basketball players. When I was a kid, I dreamed about this.

It wasn't just our goal to make it to the tournament. We wanted to make a special run in the tournament.

It's a special feeling. A lot of people wouldn't have guessed we would make it this far.

There's always a weakness in every team. They have had a lot of games this season where they are down 15 and they come back. That just shows how dominating of a team they are, and it also shows that sometimes they are less focused for 40 minutes. That may leave the door open for us.

They're on TV a lot. We have watched them all season long. I know their starting five. I know guys off their bench. I know their team.

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.

They're so experienced and so talented. We're definitely going to need them to make some mistakes to win.
