deserving hope league policy recognized team whatever wins
I hope the policy is revisited because any team in our league that wins a championship is deserving of being recognized, any sport. Whatever championship it is, you should be recognized by your conference. Obviously, we were not.
atmosphere good gotten great lead second
It was a good atmosphere. It could have been a great atmosphere if A&M had gotten the lead in the second half. Fortunately, they were not able to make that happen.
feather great kansas matched sweeping teams winning
Sweeping Kansas would be a great feather in K-State's cap. And winning over there, with the teams more evenly matched than in many years, would be a feather in our cap.
care doctors early hopefully rest sit soon
It's in the early stages. The doctors feel like it's not full-blown, and hopefully rest will take care of it. We'll sit him this week, then re-evaluate it and hopefully get him back soon after that.
daily deal held issues tough troops
It's been tough for them. We think we have issues to deal with, but think of the issues that they have to deal with on a daily basis. Monte has held the troops together.
happy mad rather win
I told 'em I'd rather be mad at them and win than be happy and lose.
answers locker
It's amazing. We got 20 different answers in our locker room.
basketball college excellent guys pro start talking
It was kind of like a clinic. It was excellent for me to get there and start talking basketball with a lot of college guys and pro guys.
learn operate radar soon worked
That's done. We don't need to be under the radar anymore; we need to be out there. It worked out really well. We didn't get too much too soon and it made us work for everything. Now you have to learn how to operate with all the attention.
certainly controlled guards played
Their guards were terrific. They played well and certainly controlled the game.
finished point turning
The turning point was the way we finished the first half. I think that deflated us.
brought fans grown hard joy saw
They brought so much joy through the season. Our fans saw how much they had grown and how hard they tried.
guys pull thinking time
They'll pull for the other guys to do well, but at the same time, they are thinking 'This is my time too.' So I think it is going to make for some pretty competitive practices.
faster offensive
We're going to be faster as a team. I think we could be a much better offensive rebounding team,
