ball basic basketball decisions game good group guys lose morale national older positive rebound teams telling tendency younger
It's not that complicated. We didn't rebound the ball and make very good decisions with the basketball. Now, it's about making basketball plays. Basic basketball plays. The older guys keep telling us it's not the national championship game. It's a series. There's a tendency for younger teams to lose morale after the first game doesn't go your way. We're a pretty positive group and that comes from experience.
basketball care good playing solid
If you don't feel good about yourself, you're not going to play good basketball. I don't care who you are. We've accomplished what we wanted by playing solid basketball in April. At the end of the day, it's about what you do; if you execute.
basketball game hopefully losing mess minds momentum punish single step talk time trying wherever win
If you try to mess with the basketball gods, they punish you in the end. All the talk of massaging and losing games, that's not in our minds right now. We're trying to win every single game each time we step on the court. Wherever we are at the end of the year, hopefully we'll have some momentum and play well in the playoffs.

I'm happy for him. He's a good dude. He's a hard worker and he has a great basketball mind. He took his last school to the dance. I think it's a good hire for Oklahoma.
