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.
attack ball bit moving reason second tried
We got a little bit better in the second half. We got the ball moving and tried to attack inside. It's the way we have to play, and it's the reason we had a chance.
ability ball catch guy knows man pass teammates
He has more than the ability to just put the ball in the basket. He's a guy that not only makes baskets for himself, but he really knows how to pass and he really knows how to set his teammates up where all they have to do is catch and dunk. Man alive, he knows how to play the game.
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.
attack stood watched zone
We stood around and watched and weren't really aggressive. Our zone attack was very stinky today, without question.
games
We're in the Big 12 and this is just the way games are. Preparation is easy, but converting is hard. We were right there. We just have to convert.
everybody game involved wednesday
I think everybody involved in that game Wednesday is probably pretty drained.
happy
That was a hard-fought win, and I'm very, very, very happy to get it.
believe eliminate loss win
Just a win (over Texas) probably wouldn't do it. And I don't believe a loss would eliminate us, either.
against chance coached emotional games national night playing record supremely team wednesday win
I think we were already in. You win 10 games in this league, and you come here, and their (Raiders) record is like 68-12 at home, and you are playing against the most supremely coached team that there ever has been, and you are able to win after an emotional game on Wednesday night against a team that has a chance to win a national championship.
came thoughts
We were 8-8, but that's not what we came here to do. We've done OK, but we have grander thoughts about where we're going to be in the future.
attacking hole missing needed ourselves stood
We put ourselves in a big hole by missing shots. We should have been attacking better, but we stood around and didn't do what we needed to do.
against needed
We really needed that. We've had a lot of things go against us.
