both created facing help league prepare provide styles teams
One thing they will do will be to provide our league with styles created more off of pressure, both offensively and defensively. That's something we haven't had much of. Facing different styles will help prepare teams for the post-season.
basketball both college crowd heck last overtime personally plays regulation teams
Personally I think it was a heck of a college basketball game. The crowd was great. Both teams competed their tails off. Plays at the end of regulation and overtime ... it was just unfortunate for us they made the last play.
anybody coach feeling gets hope school wish
I wish coach was here. I hope he gets to feeling better. He's done more for this school than anybody could ever imagine.
played
If we'd played man, he would have had 25 points.
against execute run team three wasted
If we play like that against a Big 12 team on the road, you're going to get beat. There are 10 wasted opportunities a game. If we can't get our wasted possessions to three or four, then we don't need to run like that. We need to execute better, keep our turnovers down.
offensive outside shots teams ugly
If we didn't make those outside shots today, it would have been an ugly offensive game. You have got to make shots when teams do that.
certainly effective stretch sunday
Certainly it will be a stretch for him to be effective on Sunday -- if he is able to play at all. He did the splits.
confidence good grew guys season stand sweeter
Certainly, from my stand point, this was sweeter than any of the other (victories) that we have had this season because we started (Big 12 play) 1-2. We were 1-2 and not very good, but the guys got confidence and the young guys grew up and we got pretty good late.

Based on reports we received on campus from housing and academics, he has fulfilled requirements to check out as a student and is presently in Spokane, with the intent to attend Gonzaga. Micah will be issued a release to visit with (Gonzaga coach Mark Few) and attend Gonzaga University.
hung losing missouri people ruined ups
Losing to Missouri and K-State ... a lot of people thought that ruined our season. But we hung on to the positives. There are going to be a lot of ups and downs, but I'd have to think we're on an upswing right now.
last team tight year
Last year was probably as tight as I've had a team going into a tournament.
group last maybe rest seniors
Last year, there were the seniors and then there was the rest of the team. This year, because we're so young and everybody's kind of an unproven commodity, everybody's about the same. I do think this is a closer-knit group maybe than we had last year.
attorney behind comment district further situation speaks statement
We have put this situation behind us. The district attorney statement speaks for itself. We will have no further comment on this matter.
base basketball certainly
We did not do all the things that we should have done. Basketball isn't like football. You don't base everything on one game. You base everything over time, and there were certainly some things that we did out of character.
