WASHINGTON HEAD COACH ? LORENZO ROMAR

On the outcome of the game... "It's pretty simple. We had 17 turnovers and gave up 18 points off of turnovers. Against the Trojans, that's bad news. When we took care of the ball we were in control of the game, when we didn't they came back, or took the lead a little bit. You have to give them all the credit in the world though because that is what they do... I still want to give our guys a lot of credit though. Despite the record that we have and all the consecutive losses, to still come out and compete and play together the way we did. I'm very proud of our guys in that regard."

On Malik Dime's last game... "I felt that Malik went out in his last game and left it all on the court. He gave us a very good performance."

On what he saw from his team that encourages him for next year... "We played a lot of these games without Markelle Fultz... I believe that earlier in the year if we would have played these games without Markelle they wouldn't have been this close. Our team grew up. USC beat UCLA, they have a chance to make the NCAA tournament, and we played right there with them."

On recent reports regarding his future with Washington... "I have not received any indications from the administration one way or another. It's an evaluation process going on right now. I know there was something that came out, but there was no truth to that... I'm not the decision maker. I think that our administration is very supportive. I do know that a decision has to be made, so we will see what happens."

WASHINGTON

DAVID CRISP

On USC's defense and what makes it hard to play against... "They're a real long team. They are really good at back tipping the ball. They play the passing lanes really well and active. They give a lot of teams problems."

On what this year meant and getting ready for next year... "Just a lot of feel, feel to the fire. Motivation to get better, to get back to work, and be as ready as we can for next season."

NOAH DICKERSON

On how the game went... "We started off strong, we weren't turning the ball over and they weren't getting easy run outs and things like that. In the second half they came out with the press, we started turning the ball over and they got easy run outs. When we looked up, they're up and we are fighting for our lives. They are real long and athletic and I understand that, so passes that you think are there aren't there. We just need to take care of the ball more down the stretch."

On the seniors... "Malik (Dime) has done a lot. He might be the team's favorite guy. He's funny, always energetic and a lot of things like that. He always brings energy, that's one thing he's taught me. No matter if you're having a good game or a bad game, just bring energy and help everybody else out like he did today. We are going to miss him next year."
