Jim Wooldridge Quotations

He was number 31. And he was making a lot of shots.

You get into league play, and people make you play in the half court. You have to generate points with five guys in front of you. That's hard to do sometimes.

They're an extraordinary team. They've got a lot of weapons - the outside shooting and the inside play, the rebounding game. They can punish you on the boards. I don't see any weak link in their game right now even though they went to Oklahoma State and ran into a buzz saw.

They're knuckleballs, but you watch the ball in flight, and you just thought they were going in. I thought it. You probably thought it.

They're just very, very strong. I know (Sunday) was probably disappointing for them, but just looking at them on paper and the consistency they've played with throughout Big 12 play, they just don't have a lot of chinks in the armor.

We have had a lot of those kinds of games, but I thought we played good basketball. We stayed under control, played good defense and didn't get rattled.

I didn't feel good, but I ended up watching the whole second half. It's almost impossible, because you're pulling so hard for your guys and you want them to do well. Not having a hand in it, it's an impossible situation to stay somewhat calm.

I think we can -- and have -- played better.

It's been a combination of talent and good coaching. Their guard play has been better for them, and they always play good strong defense. They're just awfully talented and strong. I didn't think they would win 10 in a row, but I knew they would end up as one of the top teams in our league.

There's not been this doom and gloom over the top of our heads. I think our team has been supported well by our base of fans out there. I just don't feel bad about what we're doing right now. The topic your talking about remains and has been dormant. It's just not something we concentrate on.
