deal games less score seven
There's not many things less important than the score at halftime. It's kind of like that deal with the race. Seven games in, who really knows?
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.
bearing either games goes last numerous phases played quite recent team
I think every team goes through phases where they don't play quite as well, especially away from home. They probably haven't played as well in the last two games as they had been, but we've had numerous games like this as well. I don't know if the recent performances by either team will have much bearing on the game Saturday.
days eight focused four games next pivotal playing rather ready rest time
I'd rather be playing every other day. But with four games in eight days after the OU game, we do need some rest right now, yet at the same time be focused and ready for next week, which is probably most pivotal to our season.
coach double finishing games nobody road season six winning year
The Coach of the Year doesn't make the season more gratifying, winning six games on the road by double digits and finishing the way we did being so young is what was so gratifying. This year we started 1-2 and nobody thought we had a shot.
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.
cures
We didn't play a lot better than Nebraska. We just made shots. Certainly, that cures a lot of ills.
eight game help percent shooting taking team three
Brandon's got to be a playmaker for us. When you're shooting 60 percent from three, you need to be taking more than three a game. He should be taking eight a game and shooting 40 percent. That would help the team a lot more.
ashley kentucky looking says
Brandon says a lot of things. He also said Ashley Judd was looking at him at the Kentucky game.
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.
