"We have to win eight. I'll be crushed if we don't win eight. How do you win eight? You win every one you line up."

"He's always been a great point guard," Westbrook said. "He taught me a lot when I was at UCLA and he's done a great job with that team over there so I think he's having a great season."

"The thing that I’ve been the happiest is how efficient he’s been and poised and patient with everything," Paul said. "What goes forgotten a lot of times is that he played in three Final Fours, so there is not too much that’s going to rattle him."
The Hornets were high on Collison when they selected him with the 21st pick in the 2009 draft after he played four years at UCLA, but they also didn’t expect him to contribute this much so soon.

"Our lack of defense transformed over to our lack of offense," Lee said. "When you're playing good defense, that just leads over. I don't know - mental breakdowns, guys missing breakouts - that leads over to the offense. It's not a fact, but I think it plays a mental game on you."

UCLA QB Commit Brett Nottingham: 2009 Bay Area News Group East Bay Offensive Football Player of the Year
As pointed out by garlon here, Brett Nottingham is the 2009 East Bay Offensive Football Player of the Year. Here's an excerpt from the link above:
"This year, at a school that produced former Gatorade National Player of the Year Kyle Wright and McAllister, Nottingham rewrote the record book. For his accomplishments this season, he has been named the Bay Area News Group East Bay Football Offensive Player of the Year. And the marks he set are historic.
His 3,962 yards and 45 touchdown passes both rank second in Northern California single-season history, according to the CalHiSports.com State Record Book and Almanac. His 7,467 career passing yards rank seventh in NorCal history, and his 69.1 percent career completion percentage is fifth in state history."
Congrats to Brett. I'm getting really excited seeing all these recruits pile on the accolades. Can't wait to see him and our other recruits next year. GO BRUINS.

"I feel like our team is a lot more united. Sometimes when things didn't go Drew's way, he'd have a fit. We'd try to help him, and he didn't want to hear it. Now that he left, we kind of feel like we need to start over."

Darren Collison Hits Game-Tying 3 Pointer, Helps New Orleans Hornets to Win
Darren Collison hit a game-tying 3 pointer with 7.5 seconds left and tipped the ball away from fellow rookie Brandon Jennings (drafted 10th overall) of the Milwaukee Bucks as time ran out. He then proceeded, with less than a minute left in overtime, to steal the ball from Jennings and force a foul, sinking both free throws to take the lead. He finished with 18 points, 8 assists, 7 rebounds, and 2 steals.
Not many people expected Darren to get a lot of playing time with a struggling team and a point guard of Chris Paul's caliber in front of him. However, with Paul out, Darren has been doing his best for his team, helping the Hornets to victories in four of their past five games. You make UCLA proud, Darren. Keep it up.

"The second big question is how many teams will be eligible?
Six teams already are. Only woeful Washington State is out for sure.
The most likely seventh? UCLA, which has to win at Washington State on Saturday and then either beat Arizona State at home or win at USC."
