Keion Brooks and Braxton Meah talk about beating the Bruins.
Transcript
00:00 >> Can I get your thoughts on just the job that your point guards did,
00:05 Sa and Corn, and just getting you guys those open looks for
00:11 yourself on the outside and for Braxton Headside?
00:15 >> They did a great job of controlling the game, then turn the ball over.
00:18 You throw Paulie in there too.
00:19 They just did a great job of keeping us calm.
00:23 UCLA's a good defensive team.
00:26 They try to be physical and get in the pass lane.
00:29 Our point guards did a great job of settling us down.
00:32 Like you said, they found Braxton around the rim and
00:34 now they're the ninth out of three.
00:36 >> Hey, just that same question back there.
00:39 >> It was amazing from all the guards down to everyone that came in the game.
00:44 They all did their job, helped us win the game tonight.
00:47 >> Keon, how satisfying is it just to beat UCLA?
00:51 This program hasn't done it very much in the history of the program,
00:55 hasn't done it lately.
00:57 Maybe it's been five years, ten games, something like that.
01:00 How satisfying?
01:01 >> I mean, it's just good to win a game, period.
01:04 Don't wanna get caught up in the history of that.
01:07 But it does feel good to get a win for
01:09 the guys that played here before that probably weren't able to get one.
01:13 So that's a big thing, but you gotta turn the page and get ready for Saturday.
01:17 >> Keon, Braxton, he's getting beat up quite a bit.
01:21 He's holding his back, he's hobbling, holding his knee, got hit in the mouth.
01:24 But he had 17, he was hitting his free throws and getting blocked shots tonight.
01:30 How big was Braxton tonight?
01:32 >> Braxton was amazing.
01:33 Braxton is a beast.
01:34 And Braxton is playing at a super high level like he is right now.
01:39 He makes the whole team different.
01:40 A lot of stuff that Braxton does probably doesn't come up in the stat sheet.
01:45 But we all recognize it and we appreciate what he does.
01:48 Cuz he does a lot of the dirt work, he gets beat up a lot.
01:51 He gets elbowed, they're whacking at him.
01:54 But he continues to play through it and he's been doing a great job of keeping his
01:58 head and we gotta keep doing a great job of getting him the ball when he's open.
02:03 Cuz he does a lot of stuff for us.
02:04 And anytime he catches around the rim, it's a problem.
