"Our team focused and worked really hard to prepare for this game and came out with a tremendous sense of urgency. We've talked a lot about, if our team could get healthy and start firing on all cylinders, watch out. And I think you saw that today."
"I thought you saw Stanford basketball out there. Playing great defense, rebounding, moving the basketball, running in transition. A lot of different people contributing, getting the ball inside, making extra passes. Our team worked really hard for it, and we're going to build on it."
"The Tigers were allowing a conference-low 58 points per game, but Stanford had 51 points at the half on 69 percent shooting, with 13 assists to just two turnovers."
