That helps from my standpoint because I can be a little more aggressive. If you make a mistake you still play your game.

I just put the season behind me as far as a personal standpoint, and that is the most important thing, to just help this team do well in the playoffs. I don't expect to do this every night, but to be able to contribute in the first game, I am happy to live with that.

It feels like we got that monkey off of our back. Now we can start playing and building momentum for the Pac-10 tournament.

This definitely gets the monkey off our backs.

More time on the court and getting in more of a groove.

I'm not feeling any better (because) we lost two games. I've still got a lot of work to do.
