anticipate coming conference found knew ourselves since team together trying wind
We were a team kind of just flapping in the wind and floundering around, not because they weren't trying but because we hadn't found ourselves yet. I knew we'd get better. But I didn't anticipate us coming together and having a surge like we've had here since we started conference play.
best defensive equation factor good guys last majority night offense playing second team
The other thing our offense wasn't very good last night at all. If the offense isn't very good, I think you are better off playing your best defensive team the majority of time. That also could factor into the equation why those guys didn't get in the second half.
coming heard listen next talent team year
Listen when I say that Baylor team is going to be heard from next year and in the coming years. There's a lot of talent there.
beating bring colorado focus stuff talk team trying win
I won't talk to the team about that. I think that's pretty premature. If our whole focus right now is beating Colorado and trying to win the league, I don't think you bring stuff like that into it just yet.
oklahoma played playing pressured state teams tough
I thought it was two teams playing really hard. I thought Oklahoma State played really tough and it rebounded well and pressured us out of what we wanted to do. We kind of did the same to them for awhile.
coached kids means oral rest roberts season teams telling
I think (conference tournaments) get teams (prepared) to play the whole year. I coached at Oral Roberts when it was an independent. Try telling those kids on Feb. 10 the rest of the season means something.
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.
abe aware blunt broke crowded exit feeling fight fine form four head hit indicate instrument last night received reports stairs team top using
We are aware that last night at Abe and Jake's more than one fight broke out inside. All reports we have received are that a fight broke out on a crowded set of stairs that Rodrick Stewart was using to exit the premises. Rodrick was hit over the head with some form of blunt instrument while he was exiting. All reports we have received indicate Rodrick had no involvement in the altercation other than him being hit over the head while going up the stairs. He received four staples to the top of his head and is feeling fine today. Rodrick's being at Abe and Jake's did not violate team policies.
bad certainly challenge due handle huge large played step team teams
We played bad tonight, but a large part of that was due to Texas. They could be a team that can challenge for it all. They were certainly too much for us to handle tonight. To play with teams that have it all, on their floor, we have another huge step to take.
anybody certainly challenge deal due large played team tough
We played bad. But that was in large part due to them. They would be a team that could challenge for it all tonight. They'd be tough for anybody to deal with. Certainly they were way too much for us.
challenge definitely due large played seen shoot team
We played bad, but that was a large part due to them. I haven't seen them all, but they would definitely be a team that could challenge for it all when they shoot so well.
confidence expected good grew guys pride team
We were 1-2 and not very good, guys got confidence and young guys grew up, and we got pretty good late. So to me I have more pride in the team that is not expected to (win), than a team that is expected to.
confidence expected expecting good grew guys pride team
We were 1-2 and not very good, and guys got confidence and guys grew up and got pretty good late. To me, I have more pride with a team not expecting to do it, and do it, than a team that is expected to do it and does it.
bad beat lost team tonight win
We got beat handily. We lost tonight to a team that can win it all. We got off to a bad start. They were awesome.
