QUOTES

"He's a big-time competitor...when the game is on the line, he's not afraid. He hit some big-time shots, the three of course was huge for us to tie it, but those offensive rebounds he had were big-time. Five offensive rebounds, 14 total, him and Ryan (Young), just their presence by the basket, really caused Oregon State to pick up and get in a lot of foul trouble. He's a competitor though, he's a gamer, I'm not surprised by what he did. The thing I love the most is his defense. Really down the stretch, he guarded, switched on the smaller guards, moved his feet, played without fouling. That, to me, was a huge period of growth for him." -- head coach Jon Scheyer on Kyle Filipowski
