brown coach former game hamilton identical influenced management oklahoma positive stolen stood
He influenced me in all areas. Game management and preparation ... we still do drills identical to what we did at Oklahoma State. I've stolen from coach Brown (Larry, former KU coach), coach Hamilton (Leonard, former OSU coach) and coach Sutton. He's impacted me a lot. He stood for class. He's been a positive influence for me.
attitude came concerned feeling good playing shots stepping
He had a good attitude when he wasn't playing and he came in and made shots. But he does more than just make shots. He is concerned with being well-rounded and he is doing better defensively. He is stepping up and making shots because he is feeling good about how he is playing.
good
He got a good one. If he was a boxer, they would have called the fight. I don't know how many (stitches) he will need, but he's going to need several.
blame crowds excited expected sandwich spoiled
We're spoiled with the crowds we get here. We can't blame the crowd for us being dull, because we didn't give them much to get excited about. But I expected it. It was a sandwich game.
guys happens internet perform sensitive
What happens on the Internet is some (players) are sensitive and some guys aren't. Some guys look at that stuff; some guys don't. The guys that don't usually perform better.
anticipate coming conference found knew ourselves since team together trying wind
We were a team kind of just flapping in the wind and floundering around, not because they weren't trying but because we hadn't found ourselves yet. I knew we'd get better. But I didn't anticipate us coming together and having a surge like we've had here since we started conference play.
best defensive equation factor good guys last majority night offense playing second team
The other thing our offense wasn't very good last night at all. If the offense isn't very good, I think you are better off playing your best defensive team the majority of time. That also could factor into the equation why those guys didn't get in the second half.
best four games good home played road worst
We've actually played better away from home. Our four road games are the best games we've played all year. Our fourth-best home game hasn't been as good as our worst road game.
good grades shape
We're in good shape with that. Our grades have been good. We're in good shape in that area.
approach exact fairly guys totally
We're not going to say, 'OK, you guys have done great, but this is a totally different now. We'll approach it the exact same way. We'll try to keep the guys loose, and they should be because they're fairly confident.
physically playing
We're still playing better physically than we are mentally.
decisions foul game trap unsure
We were unsure even during the game do you trap him or not. Fortunately for us, we did not have to make those decisions because he had foul problems.
abe aware blunt broke crowded exit feeling fight fine form four head hit indicate instrument last night received reports stairs team top using
We are aware that last night at Abe and Jake's more than one fight broke out inside. All reports we have received are that a fight broke out on a crowded set of stairs that Rodrick Stewart was using to exit the premises. Rodrick was hit over the head with some form of blunt instrument while he was exiting. All reports we have received indicate Rodrick had no involvement in the altercation other than him being hit over the head while going up the stairs. He received four staples to the top of his head and is feeling fine today. Rodrick's being at Abe and Jake's did not violate team policies.
ball good great job missed russell threw throw time tried
We put C.J. on the ball to take away the throw to the rim. That is what they tried to do the time before. Russell didn't do a great job on Neal on the play. It wasn't a good look, but he got off a look. We thought they would throw it to the basket. Fortunately for us, they threw outside, and he missed it so I'll say it was good defense.
