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.
anybody guard guys playing point start throwing tight touches
Our point guard and two-guard play has been average. That's not throwing anybody under the bus. We've just got to play better. When we do start playing better (at guard) I think our big guys will play better because they'll get more touches in tight at the basket.
gratifying league since start worst
For us to have the worst league start since (1983) and then go 13-3 is probably more gratifying than if we had started out 10-0.
allow base encourage freshmen game season starting three
How can we base the season on one game when you're starting three freshmen and two sophomores? To me, that's something that we can't allow to happen. I'll encourage the guys, and I'll get on them. I'll be the same way I've always been.
heart player russell soul start
I don't know if one player spurred it (team chemistry) on more than others, but I do think Russell Robinson, from start to finish, has been the heart and soul of our team.
crushed education kid start
I know it hurts. It crushed him. But if the kid isn't tough, how can a walk-on kid from Asheville, N.C., come in here, get an education and start for Kansas?
figure game great hopefully seasons start win
It was huge, because we didn't play well at all. That's what makes great seasons ? when you figure out how to win a game when you don't play real well. Hopefully that's a start for us.
freshmen learn situation starting
This is a situation that we've never been in before, starting freshmen and sophomores, and we're going to learn from it. We'll get better.
basketball college excellent guys pro start talking
It was kind of like a clinic. It was excellent for me to get there and start talking basketball with a lot of college guys and pro guys.
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.
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.
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.
