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.
changes lead
I don't how many lead changes there were or ties, but there were a lot.
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.
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.
bright couple course last thinking
Of course it is a big deal. But they don't need to go in thinking, 'Hey, this is our chance. This is a big, bright stage,' or anything like that. They just need to go in thinking about the same things they've been thinking about for the last couple of months.
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.
anybody benefit decisions finish given hate hope opportunity season wish
I hate that for anybody in the profession. Sometimes administrations have to make decisions that benefit more than just an individual. I wish if a decision had come to this it would have been after the season. I would hope he would be given an opportunity to at least finish the season if there was going to be a change.
convinced hated
I hated to see this happen. I'm not convinced he made the right decision.
game good job
We got after them pretty good. We did a good job of controlling the game from the get-go. At 16-2, I thought we were in pretty good shape.
constant everybody gets guy happened large obviously season totally until
We want to play Mario, but obviously Stephen was the guy tonight. I can see this being a constant for a large part of the season until everybody gets totally comfortable. I don't think that's happened yet.
anybody losses table toughest
We've probably had the toughest losses of anybody in America. I think the table will turn.
