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.
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.
best certainly great looks offense played
We played great offensively. We made shots. The offense looks a lot better, and certainly we did (shoot threes) the best we've done all year.
bad certainly challenge due handle huge large played step team teams
We played bad tonight, but a large part of that was due to Texas. They could be a team that can challenge for it all. They were certainly too much for us to handle tonight. To play with teams that have it all, on their floor, we have another huge step to take.
anybody certainly challenge deal due large played team tough
We played bad. But that was in large part due to them. They would be a team that could challenge for it all tonight. They'd be tough for anybody to deal with. Certainly they were way too much for us.
certainly coaches deserved deserving honorable led level mario played russell start third
I thought Mario deserved third team, and I thought Russell (Robinson) deserved honorable mention, but there's a lot of other coaches that say the same thing about their players. Brandon certainly played at a certain level and led us from start to finish. He's deserving of that.
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.
certainly effective stretch sunday
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.
bad certainly december duke dwell game good played roll team texas
We've been on a pretty good roll and certainly played a bad game tonight. Texas didn't become a bad team after Duke (a 31-point setback December 10) and we didn't become a bad team after these 40 minutes. We certainly aren't going to dwell on that.
base basketball certainly
We did not do all the things that we should have done. Basketball isn't like football. You don't base everything on one game. You base everything over time, and there were certainly some things that we did out of character.
certainly excited four overly six teams tied
You look at the four teams that tied with six wins, any of those teams can do some damage. Certainly I'm not overly excited about our first-round draw, considering we have to play one of two teams we know are very capable.
certainly felt hold kids nice regular texas trophy
Our kids didn't get to feel the way Texas felt (in the regular season). It was certainly nice to hold that trophy today.
base certainly good guard guys hard
He's hard to guard because he's unorthodox. He doesn't have a good base yet. Guys can certainly dislodge him from certain positions.
certainly extra fans rest
Our fans were certainly disappointed and all that stuff. But I'm thinking, we have an extra day's rest and it doesn't hurt.
