chance close equal heavy less level quite talent top
We're not quite as top heavy as what we've been in years past. The talent level is so close to equal that there's more chance for upsets. There is less discrepancy one through 12.
against guys men playing quite saw
I saw men playing against some guys that weren't quite as old.
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.
energy expected game night outing quite sandwich standpoint worst
We didn't play with any energy all night long. This is the worst outing that we've had from an energy standpoint in quite some time. But I expected it. It was a sandwich game and we really didn't get after them like we could have.
bit dole followed knew quite senator
I didn't know that senator Dole had followed it that close. I was thrilled. He really knew quite a bit about our recruiting.
offense opposed page run shot situation totally whatever whenever
We have to be totally on the same page that whatever the situation is, we can get a shot whenever we want to. Right now, we run offense to run offense, as opposed to run offense to score.
dad david freshman good knew overly thrilled
We knew the dad wasn't overly thrilled about everything, but we always thought David was fine. I thought he had a good freshman year.
enjoy guys playing seem team
This team is pretty loose. A lot of that is just youth. We have a lot of young guys out there, and they don't know any better. Even when we're not playing well, they still seem to enjoy playing with each other.
game good job
We got after them pretty good. We did a good job of controlling the game from the get-go. At 16-2, I thought we were in pretty good shape.
constant everybody gets guy happened large obviously season totally until
We want to play Mario, but obviously Stephen was the guy tonight. I can see this being a constant for a large part of the season until everybody gets totally comfortable. I don't think that's happened yet.
faster offensive
We're going to be faster as a team. I think we could be a much better offensive rebounding team,
freshman guard mario point talented
We feel Mario is probably as talented as any freshman point guard out there.
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.
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.
