chances final free help impact throws
They make two free throws and we make one. We go minus-one there. That did not impact the final outcome, but it didn't help our chances any.
foul good
They made us sweat. It's a good thing we still had a foul to give.
guys minutes playing
The young guys ... they have been playing ample minutes in my opinion.
across expect
They not only expect you to win, they expect to be entertained. If they're not entertained, they don't come back so much. I think that's sad. It's across America, not only in our league.
four happens played regardless season
They had a better non-conference season than we did. But regardless of what happens (today), I think we've played well enough to be a four seed.
excited focused fun missouri
They're an immature, fun and focused group. They don't get excited on the road. Even in the Missouri game, they weren't rattled.
keeps
As long as he keeps trying, he's going to get it. In our mind, we are not discouraged at all with Micah. Not at all.
coming count knew
Aldridge, we knew he was going to score. Abrams, we didn't count on him coming in and getting 12.
best heart national performance texas
Aldridge is their best player, but P.J. Tucker is their heart and soul. That was a national championship-type performance by Texas tonight.
based best four great half jim job kansas last league lost potential state teams tough
Your job is based on how you do with the potential that you have. That's why I think Jim is a great coach. I think that Kansas State is one of the best four teams in our league in the last half of the Big 12 season. They have lost a lot of tough games.
cleaned everybody good great
They great thing about it is that when they missed, we cleaned up. I thought everybody did some good things.
act comfort zone
They got us out of our comfort zone and we didn't act favorably.
creative freedom
You don't want to take away his freedom to make creative plays.
fashion helped lose seven
You can't lose when you are up seven with a minute-and-a-half left. It's one thing to lose. It's another to lose in the fashion we did. We helped them come back to win.
