forces good guy help playing shooting worried
He's a good on-the-ball defender, loose-ball guy and forces help offensively. Now that he's not worried about making shots, he's shooting better. He's playing really well.
based best four great half jim job kansas last league perspective potential rick state team teams watched
From a coach's perspective, if I watched Jim Wooldridge's team or Rick Barnes' team, it makes a difference. 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 Kansas State is one of the best four teams in our league in the last half of the Big 12 season.
sweeter
From my standpoint, this was sweeter than any of the other ones that I have had, because we started 1-2.
certainly energy improve last needed played
I don't think we played with the same energy we did last night. We did what we needed to do but certainly we can improve in a lot of areas.
energy feet last offensive outside played shots three ugly yesterday
I don't think we played with the same energy we did last night. But we made shots. ... Yesterday we made three shots outside of 6 feet for the game. Three. Today, if we did not make shots, it would have really been an ugly offensive game.
adds atmosphere chances expected good great kansas matter pumped spice teams town
I expected it to be tough, and this would have been a great atmosphere no matter what. Usually, when Kansas comes to town it adds spice to the game. When we don't play well on the road, our chances aren't good because usually teams are pumped to play us.
awful early struggling thinking
I don't think panic's set in by any means. But in fans' minds, they're thinking it's awful early to be struggling this much.
gratifying league since start worst
For us to have the worst league start since (1983) and then go 13-3 is probably more gratifying than if we had started out 10-0.
believe recruit recruiting three
I believe when you recruit a perimeter player, you're recruiting for him to play one of three spots.

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.
