Transcript
00:00 - Does it feel like this is just kind of why you came to
00:02 UW to be able to play in games like this?
00:04 - Yeah, absolutely.
00:06 Like when I first talked to Grubb and Marx,
00:08 this was the goal.
00:10 The goal is to be in the Pac-12 Championship and do something
00:13 special with a special group of guys.
00:16 - How are you feeling right now just health wise?
00:18 - I'm decent, you know.
00:20 Right now it don't matter.
00:21 We just got to come in.
00:22 We got to come into the game and win.
00:24 That's all that matters now is winning.
00:26 - Acupuncture still helping you out there?
00:28 - Oh yeah, absolutely.
00:29 My girl Kelly, she always comes through.
00:31 - Can you just talk about like how this team has been able to
00:36 win so many different ways?
00:38 It just seems like every week you guys find something out of
00:40 your hat to just pull a game out.
00:42 Can you just talk about that a little bit?
00:44 - Man, togetherness.
00:45 Man, we've been through so much in the off season and,
00:48 you know, it shows up at the biggest moments.
00:50 Sometimes the offense not on, the defense comes and,
00:53 you know, saves the day.
00:54 And sometimes the defense not doing their thing and the
00:57 offense comes and saves the day.
00:59 So, you know, it's a group thing.
01:01 But it's time to play, you know, a complete game.
01:03 And that's what we plan on doing.
01:05 - Just asked to carry the load a lot in some of these ranked
01:07 match-ups.
01:08 You're averaging 23 carries a game.
01:10 Just what does that mean to you to feel when in some of these
01:12 bigger games that you're the guy that is being relied on?
01:14 - Man, it feels awesome.
01:16 I mean, it feels amazing.
01:17 Especially a confidence booster, too.
01:20 You know, just everybody trusting you and believing that
01:23 you will make the right play and that,
01:25 you know, you'll do whatever it takes to win.
01:27 You know, it makes the game so much easier.
01:29 - Obviously you've seen these guys already in a huge match-up.
01:32 What does it mean to you to just kind of be able to..
01:34 Because everyone kind of has them as such a huge favorite.
01:36 What does it mean to you to just kind of go into this game
01:38 as the underdog?
01:39 - It's all good.
01:40 I love being the underdog.
01:42 I mean, who wouldn't want to be the underdog, man?
01:44 I mean, it is what it is, man.
01:45 We got to come in and do what we're supposed to do and get the
01:49 W because that's all that matters at the end of the day.
