mental
We just made so many mental mistakes, and that's embarrassing to me. And that is my fault.
bad both credit deal either great hard offense played teams
We were really bad on offense, but we have to credit their defense. Both teams played hard enough to win. There wasn't a great deal of offense on either side.
best coach definitely guys highest jeff missouri quite recruit style teams
The style of play with Missouri will be quite different. Coach Huggins will definitely recruit at the very highest level, and his teams always play with unbelievable intensity. And Jeff is one of the best young guys in the country.
attention bounce glad goes guess guy happened happy people wish
People thought P.J. didn't play all that well at our place, but he's where all your attention always goes (defensively). I wish it was not at our expense, but I'm really happy to see a guy bounce back after what happened at the end of that game. I guess I'm not that happy. But I was glad for him.
arena based conference people stuff talking teams today watched
Our conference isn't getting enough respect. There are too many people out there talking that haven't watched our teams play. They weren't in this arena today and they weren't in a lot of different arenas, they just make assumptions based on stuff that's not factual.
bad contested couple defense good great job mostly shooting sleep
We went to sleep a couple of times on perimeter defense, but mostly we contested their shots. They just did a good job of shooting the ball. It wasn't bad defense just great offense.
amount both brought energy fought game guys hard involved last lucky minutes seen
I've never been involved in a game where every person brought that amount of energy to the floor. I've never seen it where guys fought for so hard for 40 minutes on both sides. We just got lucky and made the last shot.
capability dominate games great nba potential rush shown time totally
Rush is a pro. He's not only an NBA player, but a potential NBA all-star, in my opinion, with time and maturity. He's a great player. He's shown the capability to just totally dominate games at this level.
against needed
We really needed that. We've had a lot of things go against us.
advantage defensive offensive rebound took
We couldn't make any baskets (and) couldn't get any defensive rebounds. They took advantage of it. They made a lot of offensive rebound baskets on us. We couldn't get over the hump.
happy
That was a hard-fought win, and I'm very, very, very happy to get it.
everybody game involved wednesday
I think everybody involved in that game Wednesday is probably pretty drained.
ball difficult great played playing time
I think he has played that way all the time, we've just had a difficult time getting him the ball consistently where he can do great things with it. But I think he has been playing great all year.
athletic ball basket finish foul line quite
We couldn't get the ball to the basket because of athletic ability, couldn't finish enough plays, couldn't get to the foul line quite as much as they did.
