Acie Law Quotations

When they trapped the ball, my teammates were able to get the ball to me going to the basket, and I was able to finish plays.

I don't know one word to describe this. The reaction said it all. This is great, but I'm just speechless.

I give them a lot of credit because they did a good job of keeping us out of the rhythm and I think we did a good job of keeping them out of rhythm. We knew what was coming.

He has been doing a great job rebounding. He's getting better each day defensively. He's just maturing.

He's a great player. He's just a phenomenal talent.

I think I rushed them. I got so excited because I wasn't expecting to be wide open.

I thought our best player, Joseph Jones, wasn't getting any calls.

That's the second time today someone's done that.

I wasn't fouled. It was incidental contact. I wouldn't expect the referee to make that call in the NCAA Tournament second round with a chance to go to the Sweet 16. I wouldn't expect them to make that call to bail us out.

We are just playing together and we expect to put ourselves in situations to win at the end of the game. We have confidence that we can beat anybody down the stretch.

We think we did enough. But it's up to the committee.

The play was for me to get the ball, but they did a good job of denying it. Joseph got to the basket, but couldn't make the play.

You felt like you should have had a win. And then you let it slip away.

It was tough on all of us. Nobody on the team had experienced anything like it before in our lives. All he talked about was defense and how it was going to win games. You heard it before, but nobody really believed it. As time went on, we bought into it.

Back when we were 3-6 in conference and had just lost to Texas, we had a team meeting and decided we would shock the world. No one outside of this family, this team believed in us. It made us what we are today, and we've been rolling ever since.

The way they have been playing, they are a hot team, and we'll have our hands full. But we are excited to be here and look forward to playing well.

They're going to be motivated after what happened.

I tried to get it back but OU did a good job of denying me the ball. So the second option was for Joe to try to go down and make a play and he didn't make it.

It's frustrating. We know these are ballgames we should win. We have to try and be a little bit smarter. We have to be smarter in the game down the stretch.

It's frustrating, definitely. We know we can play better. All three of our losses in the conference, we had a chance at the end to win. We just have to play a little smarter.

It's unbelievable. My freshman year, I would never have imagined us being where we are today.

I'm like speechless ... to finally get a Big 12 tournament win.

I'm not the type to just yell at somebody. That was uncomfortable for me.

I probably would've been down just like him.

In the second half we did a better job of taking care of the ball, and that was the key to our win.

Gerry is a great, tough player and does a lot for the team. Whoever is guarding him is going to have a tough assignment.

You could sense they were getting frustrated. That's what we do. We play hard, get in your face and get on your nerves. It's a credit to our team defense, and we just try to frustrate other teams.
