Good Q&A session with the Washington Huskies' coach. Here are a few of the highlights...

On defending DJO: "Well it's a tall task. No one has really defended him yet in the other games that they've played. His shooting is so much better. He wasn't as good a shooter in my opinion when we played them a couple of years ago. Now he's knocking down all of those open shots. He's so quick with the basketball. So durable and so aggressive. He's a tough, tough cover. So several guys will attempt to slow him down, but it's not going to be an easy job at all."

On Jae Crowder: "I think he's the most difficult matchup we'll see this season. Someone with that size and that versatility is a difficult cover. You can't put a smaller guy on him because he'll just post him up. You put a slower guy on him and he'll take you outside. He does a lot of things defensively. He's out there kind of like a linebacker and I don't mean that in terms of his physical appearance. He's pressing sometimes. He's switching on ball screens. He plays the ball screen several different ways. He's just very, very versatile. And he's a hard guy to deal with."

On MU's win at the KC: "If you play Wisconsin anywhere, that's a difficult game to win. If you play them at their home floor - not a neutral site, but their home floor - it's almost impossible to win as many teams have seen over their long winning streak. Marquette win in there and I thought controlled the game from start to finish. That's really impressive without their starting point guard. That's about as impressive as a win as I've seen this year."
