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.
good people says seen seven string together tougher
For us to be able to string seven (victories) together when things didn't look so good says a lot about the kind of people we have. I've never seen a tougher team.

We got a good whipping tonight. They played harder than us. They played much, much, much smarter than us. Give them all the credit. We took a step backwards tonight.
change fans good help home program team
With 44,000 students, we have to have 10,000 fans here if they want to help our team win. We want fans to come see the home team and not just to see a good opponent. To have the program where we want it, we have to change our expectations.

They've got a really good team, and it's a really good home-court advantage. I take my hat off to the toughness of our team. It was a great win.

Joe did a really good job. He's learning to make adjustments against people and he's become a little bit more aware of how some people are playing him.
against days fact good magical played seemed today
I know for a fact we haven't played better than this in two years than we did today against a real, real, real good team. Some days we have played better defense, some days we have played better offense, but today was one of those magical days where everything just seemed to go right for us.
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.
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.
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.
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.

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.
