USC 71, Arizona State 65
Q. Can you talk about the way you guys played defense today?
JORDAN SANDERS: Honestly, I think that today we were definitely all on the same page with what we wanted to do, what we wanted to accomplish with the game. I think it really just took communication, us working together and just getting everything done.
Q. Where is your team's confidence at, and where is your confidence at personally after snapping this losing streak and just getting a win?
JORDAN SANDERS: I definitely think we were a little down after the UCLA game and this game definitely picked us up. I really think we needed a win, especially going into our next game. We've really got to move on, move past all the losses that we had, and really just get it back together. I don't know, just start working hard again.
Q. How does this win feel since you had mentioned about overcoming all those losses? How does this win feel?
JORDAN SANDERS: It feels really good, honestly. This is honestly the best team that I've ever played on, so just to be able to get this team win, first game of the tournament, it just feels really good.
