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.

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.
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.
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.
