(You can watch the full comments in the video above.)
Few on how well Ryan Nembhard and Nolan Hickman played:
"We had 23 assists and three turnovers. I've been doing this 25 years and never had a line like that at Gonzaga. That's primarily these two guards up here (Ryan Nembhard and Nolan Hickman)."
Few on Gonzaga's slow start to the season and why it has taken time to gel:
"We played the greatest Maui (Invitational) field that's probably ever been assembled. ... What was a little bit underrated was just ... a lot of change. We lost an icon of a player in Drew Timme."
On Ben Gregg's impact, after racking up 17 points and 11 rebounds:
"He's our Mr. Zag. He just flies around and guys feed off him, and he does all those little things. His positive energy is palpable.
On how tough USF is to play:
"These are good teams ... I told Chris (Gerlufsen) after the game I just feel like they're an NCAA Tournament team."
On facing Randy Bennett and Saint Mary's in the championship game:
"They're a great team. He's an awesome coach. I know this: it will be extremely, extremely physical."
