General comments:
"It was a big win for us - a hard fought win. We had to make some big plays there at the end of the game to secure the win. Remember, this was the same team that beat Arizona pretty bad just last week. They can beat you on any night. Now we're going to have the opportunity to build on this and come back out here against UCLA on Saturday."

"They (USC) switched up their defenses on us throughout the game. For a young team, it's hard to be able to read which defense you're up against. I thought our team reacted fairly well. We did the things we need to do. Our defense clicked in. I thought we gave up too many points in the paint. 17 offensive rebounds - that's six times more than we gave up against Stanford."
