fun team
This is a fun team to be around right now. We're getting better.
five guard hard stretch team
They're very hard to guard because they can stretch it from all five spots. They're not a conventional team at all.
basketball decided home kansas lasted personal player resolve tenure
It's unfortunate that Micah's tenure as a Kansas basketball player only lasted one semester. Micah has decided to go home to resolve some personal issues.
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.
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.
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.
amount balance fact guy guys high hope relish revolves school short time
There's not a guy being recruited into the Big 12 that probably wasn't the No. 1 guy on their high school team, for the most part. I think what you'll find out is, what I hope I find out, is these guys in a short amount of time after they get here have been humbled. That they know not everything revolves around 'me.' I think they'll relish the fact there's balance. Because with balance comes more opportunities for the individual.
