00:00 >> From Jalen Celestin and Grant Newell, and I'll start with Grant Newell.

00:04 What an outstanding game.

00:06 What an absolute outstanding game by Grant Newell.

00:09 And he did it with skill, he did it with energy, and he did it with heart.

00:14 He had a double-double in 28, 29 minutes, 10 rebounds.

00:17 When we were struggling to get a spark,

00:20 it was Grant Newell coming up with a huge play, a reverse layup.

00:24 A shot in transition.

00:26 Just I can't say enough about how focused Grant Newell is and

00:30 what a huge part of this team he is.

00:32 Jalen Celestin, one of our brothers in arms went out.

00:38 Jalen Tyson went out with something and everyone on the team stepped up.

00:44 Jalen Celestin, we put the ball in his hands and

00:48 Jalen Celestin made play after play after play.

00:51 He's experienced, he doesn't get rattled.

00:53 He's a guy who really has great body control and

00:57 he's able to get angles to the basket where he can score with his left hand.

01:01 So I was really proud of those guys.

01:02 I was proud of every single player on our team.

01:05 And you talk about a tough game, this is a rivalry for a reason.

01:08 Stanford came out and just had our heads spinning.

01:11 They were back cutting us, they were flex cutting us,

01:14 they were scoring at will on certain sets.

01:18 And so you gotta give them a lot of credit because that's a great basketball team,

01:23 very well coached with great players.

01:25 And look, this is a close game, it went our way tonight, but

01:28 that's a really talented basketball team at Stanford.
