again asked decent difference five last minutes score six
Brandon had used a lot of energy. The last five or six minutes I asked him could he do it? He said yes. That may have been as big a difference in the game. He (Everett) didn't score again after that. He didn't get a decent look after that.
against certainly grew guys learn playing process proud teams ugly win
Teams learn how to win when they're not playing well and this team did that against Oklahoma. It's a maturation process with this team, but I think the guys really grew up in that game. Teams have to learn how to win ugly sometimes and we certainly did that. I couldn't be more proud of them.
against game opponent quality win
To win a game like that against a quality opponent like that when you don't play well should give us a lot of confidence.
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.
against league
We can't play like this against any league team, even at home, or we'll lose.
against game negatives playing selection
That's one of the negatives of playing the game that butts up against the selection show.
against guys men playing
I thought there were some men playing against guys who were not as old tonight.
against guys men playing quite saw
I saw men playing against some guys that weren't quite as old.
against bodies halfway minutes oklahoma physically playing second state throw tired travel
Halfway through the second half, (the Raiders) were physically tired because we were able to throw a lot of bodies at them. We benefited from a travel day for them and them playing 45 minutes against Oklahoma State (on Saturday).
again coach ended surprised
He's well connected-enough he'll coach again in college, or I wouldn't even be surprised if he ended up in the league, he's so well connected.
faster offensive
We're going to be faster as a team. I think we could be a much better offensive rebounding team,
certainly eight knew league quick six successful turnaround wherever wins zero
I've never thought of that -- 'Is he a quick turnaround guy?' But he certainly has become that. I knew he would be very successful wherever he went, but I didn't know he would take UTEP from six to 24 or A&M from zero to eight in league wins -- and do it overnight, which is what he has done.
afterwards anyone game job nice remember seniors tone
The seniors set the tone early. They did a nice job and I told them afterwards they'll remember this one because they impacted the game as much as anyone on our team. They'll remember this game for a long, long time.
defended eight range score shots turned
We didn't play as well as the score indicated in the first half. We made shots - we were 7 of 10 from 3-point range - and turned it over eight times. We didn't play great, but we defended and we rebounded.
