good hard offensive studied teams
I haven't studied all the teams in this league, but I know it's hard to make baskets in this league. I think it's attributable to the good defenses out there. There are good offenses out there, good offensive schemes, so I would say it's good defense.
against almost bounce concern drained emotional emotions game great impossible involved major team win
After such an emotional win against such a great team (UT) in such a great setting, it's almost impossible to bounce back and get your emotions in check. It was a major concern for us. I think everyone involved in that game was probably drained today.
definitely guys knows pass teammates
He's one of those guys you'd definitely like to coach. He really knows how to pass the ball, and he knows how to set his teammates up.
fear great maturity mentally respect shows
I didn't think they'd get starry-eyed. I think they're mentally tough. They know what they are, a blue-collar team. They respect all their opponents, but they don't have fear of anyone. That shows great maturity on their part.
coached good harder played smarter whipping
Got a good whipping tonight. They played harder than us. They played much, much, much smarter than us. ... They executed, played with discipline, they played hard, they got to the basket, they did what they were coached to do. They have good players, and I can see why they are getting better in a hurry.
final finished game hopefully team win
I am not a politician. I haven't been. I won't be. You don't have to be when you play in the Big 12. You finished fourth, you win your first game in the tournament, you play a team that's hopefully going to the Final Four.
people
I don't think too many people think 46-44 is beautiful. But I really do.
defends fits good great handle imposing overlook point true wants
He's not a great shooter, but he makes a lot of shots. He's not an imposing defender, but he really defends well. He's not a true point guard, but he can handle the ball. Everyone wants someone who fits a profile, and sometimes we overlook someone who's just a good player.
good hard
I know that it's hard to make baskets in this league. I would say it's really good defense, but I don't know. We'll see as we go.
fight knew works
I knew we would fight every game. If you do that, it usually works out in the end.
funny
All of a sudden, it wasn't so funny.
afraid guys offense shots
These guys aren't afraid to miss. We made some shots today. That makes your offense look a lot better.
people texas whether work
You come to Texas A&M, and people say you can't do it there. It's yet to see whether we can, because we have a lot of work to do. But I think you can say we're on the right track.
ball basket destroy great guy guys hope knows send stop totally
You can't stop a big guy like that. You just have to hope he doesn't totally destroy you. If you do too much, and send too many guys his way, he is a great passer. He just knows how to put the ball in the basket and make everyone better.
