gives great victory
That was a great victory by (A&M). It gives us a chance.
columbia forget great guy hurt offensive people played points post six
That was big because people forget that Young was the guy who really hurt us in Columbia with 14 points and six offensive rebounds. I thought that (Kaun) played great post defense, and C.J., too.
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.
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.
based best four great half jim job kansas last league perspective potential rick state team teams watched
From a coach's perspective, if I watched Jim Wooldridge's team or Rick Barnes' team, it makes a difference. Your job is based on how you do with the potential that you have. That's why I think Jim is a great coach. I think Kansas State is one of the best four teams in our league in the last half of the Big 12 season.
adds atmosphere chances expected good great kansas matter pumped spice teams town
I expected it to be tough, and this would have been a great atmosphere no matter what. Usually, when Kansas comes to town it adds spice to the game. When we don't play well on the road, our chances aren't good because usually teams are pumped to play us.
basketball difficult easily game good great jim job
What are they, 6-9 in the conference? They could easily be 9-6 or 10-5. They are a good basketball team. Jim (Wooldridge) has done a great job with them and it will be a very difficult game for us.
atmosphere good gotten great lead second
It was a good atmosphere. It could have been a great atmosphere if A&M had gotten the lead in the second half. Fortunately, they were not able to make that happen.
feather great kansas matched sweeping teams winning
Sweeping Kansas would be a great feather in K-State's cap. And winning over there, with the teams more evenly matched than in many years, would be a feather in our cap.
based best four great half jim job kansas last league lost potential state teams tough
Your job is based on how you do with the potential that you have. That's why I think Jim is a great coach. I think that Kansas State is one of the best four teams in our league in the last half of the Big 12 season. They have lost a lot of tough games.
cleaned everybody good great
They great thing about it is that when they missed, we cleaned up. I thought everybody did some good things.
anybody bad came great second
Anybody can have a bad half. He came out and was great the second half. It all went through Aaron.
climb dug great hole lost might nervous ourselves played pressure tone
I was disappointed in how we played not how we lost because Arizona's a great team. I thought we might be nervous and then Arizona's pressure set the tone early. Then we dug ourselves another hole we couldn't climb out of.
bit comment dust emotion freshman great guys played record settle talked
I will not go on record with you guys and comment on something he and I have not talked about. I'll let the dust settle a bit so emotion doesn't make the decision. He had a great freshman year, not played as well lately. We all get spoiled. He had a great year.
