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.
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.
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.
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.

Brandon and his family rightfully have been waiting for positive feedback from the NCAA Clearinghouse concerning his eligibility, ... We received information from the Clearinghouse today, and Brandon is eligible to pursue a college career this academic year.
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.
ball course played stops stretch time
Down the stretch I just thought we executed and got stops defensively and of course rebounded the ball a lot better than we did the first time we played them.
