He did what great players do. Great players take their team to great heights and he did that tonight with the help of his teammates. But the second half, he just took over.

It was huge because we have players, especially like Brandon, that can put the ball on the floor and drive. And if there was any contact it was a foul so it helped us tremendously.

You ask me who the most physical team is in the Pac-10, and UCLA has got to be it. They're very physical and they came after us. I give our guys a lot of credit, because our guys came right back at them. It was a street fight for 40.

Before Justin could be freed to score ... he had to learn how to run a team better. If he just scores, and now teams take his scoring away and he doesn't know how to run a team, we are up a creek. Now that he's done a better job of that and understanding what we are doing better, he's freed up.

When almost half your team is new faces, it's very beneficial [to get away].

The team the last couple of years, when we were successful, we were blue collar, and when we weren't blue collar, we weren't successful. That's the same with this group.
