tough
I was very disappointed in our toughness. We were not very tough tonight.
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.
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.
anybody losses table toughest
We've probably had the toughest losses of anybody in America. I think the table will turn.
anybody losses tables tougher turn week
We've had tougher losses than anybody in America. I think the tables will turn ... this is the roughest week we've had in a long time.
daily deal held issues tough troops
It's been tough for them. We think we have issues to deal with, but think of the issues that they have to deal with on a daily basis. Monte has held the troops together.
nice played tough win
It's a very tough place to play. If you've played well enough to win there, you've done a nice job.
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.
