The loss of Derrick has affected us more than I expected.

The loss of Derrick has impacted us far more than I thought it would. I don't mind when we're beaten. I just hate to see us come apart at the seams.

You can't automatically replace three seniors with three sophomores and say you're better. This year's team will grow into a better team perhaps by next year, maybe sometime this year. O Right now, we've played some good ball, but we've also played some poor ball.

I clearly think we've earned that. Take all the close games you want and throw them out the window. When we needed to perform, we were unable to.

I don't think we have any great players. In fact, I'm pretty sure we don't.

I don't think the conference has done all that well. I think this is a conference that will arrive late. Right now, we're all guessing.

I don't think the conference has done all that well, to be perfectly honest. I think this is a conference that will arrive late. I don't know why, but it will reassert itself. We haven't raised the banner very high, aside from Washington. We have a lot to prove as a conference. I'm not disturbed. I don't listen to talking heads that the conference is overrated. It will come out in the wash.

He totally lost his composure. He totally played into their hands. He had been playing so well.

His head went down and it looked like he had lost confidence. I didn't even start him in the second half.

It has been my pleasure to serve WSU in these years.
