nobody teams travel travels
There may be other teams that travel as well as we do, but nobody travels better.
anybody bad came great second
Anybody can have a bad half. He came out and was great the second half. It all went through Aaron.
figure staff team
The big thing is, we have to figure out as a team and staff a lot of things: a.) who to play, and b.) how we're going to play in different situations.
freshmen learn situation starting
This is a situation that we've never been in before, starting freshmen and sophomores, and we're going to learn from it. We'll get better.
almost found given good
One day we're good at transition. Another day we're good at making shots, another we're a good shot-blocking team. We've found a way to do something differently almost on a given night.
breathe iowa lead state talented teams
Once we got our lead back up to nine, we could breathe a little easier. Iowa State is one of the most talented teams we've played.
fun team
This is a fun team to be around right now. We're getting better.
crew eyes
I think that right there would be something to put Billy's crew in. They may still be on the bubble, but to my eyes (a win) would be the thing to put them over it.
climb dug great hole lost might nervous ourselves played pressure tone
I was disappointed in how we played not how we lost because Arizona's a great team. I thought we might be nervous and then Arizona's pressure set the tone early. Then we dug ourselves another hole we couldn't climb out of.
against guys men playing
I thought there were some men playing against guys who were not as old tonight.
frame game good guarantee mind next
I think that game did a lot for our confidence. It doesn't guarantee we're going to play well in the next game, but we're probably in about as good a frame of mind as we have been in all year.
bringing changes enhance positive
I think these changes will be positive for the conference. If anything, I think they will enhance it. Look at what we're bringing in.
anybody cold jeremy left
Jeremy has been left out in the cold more than anybody else.

Last week Keith complained of soreness is his knee. He had an MRI on Monday, which revealed some very slight cartilage damage. Keith, his mother and the medical staff then got together and decided to repair it now instead of having it be a nuisance throughout the season.
