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.
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.
playing worthy
We are worthy of playing in the tournament, but I am not politicking. We have to do more to get that chance, though.
against aware bit good joe learning people playing
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
