Howland ON:

On Stanford:
“They’ll play both a 3-2 zone as well as man-to-man. They showed that against USC, they showed that against Cal. They’re very sound fundamentally – man to man they’ll run a number of different sets.”

On Mike Roll:
“He really has grown to be a consistent outside shooter. He’s a smart player, an outstanding passer. He made a big pass late in the game hitting Reeves Nelson on the cut, just by slowing it down.”


On having an extra day to prepare:
“Coming off a win, having an extra day is a lot better when you’re getting ready for a second game. It probably gives us a better chance. We’re the only league in the country that plays the majority of our games on Thursday-Saturday.”

On not having a letdown:
“We’ve lost enough games this year to where we can’t think we can show up and beat anybody. It is good to get confidence for a win. But I don’t worry about a letdown.”
