ncaa teams work
There are a lot of teams out there that will do well in the NCAA Tournament. But there are a lot of teams that still have work to do, and we're one of those teams.
bad both credit deal either great hard offense played teams
We were really bad on offense, but we have to credit their defense. Both teams played hard enough to win. There wasn't a great deal of offense on either side.
both credit deal either great hard loss offense played teams tough
This was a really, really tough loss for us. Both teams played hard enough to win. There wasn't a great deal of offense on either side; you credit the defenses, but it's a tough one.
arena based conference people stuff talking teams today watched
Our conference isn't getting enough respect. There are too many people out there talking that haven't watched our teams play. They weren't in this arena today and they weren't in a lot of different arenas, they just make assumptions based on stuff that's not factual.
best coach definitely guys highest jeff missouri quite recruit style teams
The style of play with Missouri will be quite different. Coach Huggins will definitely recruit at the very highest level, and his teams always play with unbelievable intensity. And Jeff is one of the best young guys in the country.
good hard offensive studied teams
I haven't studied all the teams in this league, but I know it's hard to make baskets in this league. I think it's attributable to the good defenses out there. There are good offenses out there, good offensive schemes, so I would say it's good defense.
attack stood watched zone
We stood around and watched and weren't really aggressive. Our zone attack was very stinky today, without question.
games
We're in the Big 12 and this is just the way games are. Preparation is easy, but converting is hard. We were right there. We just have to convert.
deal enjoyed experience motivated motivates motivating reflect time
Now we have time to reflect back. How motivating is this experience? Will it make you motivated or will it make you complacent? If you're complacent, then we'll be right back where we were. If the deal is you enjoyed the experience so much it motivates you, then the sky's the limit.
cover defensive finished foul free missed shot throw
One defensive play, one foul or one turnover, one shot that's not finished or one missed free throw is magnified because we don't have an Antoine Wright to cover up mistakes.
advantage defensive offensive rebound took
We couldn't make any baskets (and) couldn't get any defensive rebounds. They took advantage of it. They made a lot of offensive rebound baskets on us. We couldn't get over the hump.
push success
We always try to push the ball. Sometimes we just have a little more success than we do at other times.
capable great last magical program winning
We lucked out last week, but it was a magical win. It's a great program capable of winning the championship this year. We have to muster enough to be as competitive as we can.
bunch came early great shots win
We came out and made a bunch of shots early and got a little confidence. It's a great win for us.
