Oregon-Washington postgame quotes
March 4, 2010
------------------------------------------------------
Oregon Head Coach Ernie Kent
“I sat on the sideline and said if we could shoot the ball then we would be dangerous in the game.”
“We left way too many basketball plays on the floor.”
“Washington's athleticism turned it into an up-tempo game at parts.”
“We were not very good at closing the half and beginning the second half.
On Brandon Roy: “I was happy to see Roy here. He has done such a great job representing the state of Washington and now the state of Oregon. He is just a class act.”
On Dick Harter: “He almost looks the same to me. He is a great man and he has done a lot for his players. He is still involved in the lives of his players. That is the sign of a great coach. He is one of the greatest coaches we have had and I'm glad he was here tonight.”
On Tajuan Porter: “I'm glad his family is out for his last game. Here is someone who was a catalyst for our Elite 8 team, and helped us get back to the tournament again. He is going to graduate early. We have never had a problem with him, and that says a lot about his legacy.”
----------------------------------------------
Washington Head Coach Lorenzo Romar
“We came out in the second and Holiday had some big shots. In the second half I think we played some good basketball.”
“The crowd got into it and we made some stops. Quincy Pondexter was sensational tonight.”
--------------------------------------------------------
Michael Dunigan - So., F
On Pondexter: “He was doing it all.”
On the final game: “It's Tajuan Porter's last game at Mac Court and we have to go out with a 'W.'”
On Tajuan Porter's leadership: “He is a leader. He is one of the smallest guys on the team with the biggest heart. He leads with his words even when he can't score.”
-------------------------------------------------------
Tajuan Porter - Sr., G
“They started aggressively. We had some passive plays defensively. They hit us first and it was hard to get back.” On the energy of Mac Court:
“It's Mac Court. It's always high energy. We have great fans and a great student base here and they support us.”
On the last game at Mac Court: “It's the last game and I want to end my Mac Court career with a win.”
“If we come out with high energy and intelligence we'll come out with a win.”
