days defended defense far free magical played seemed shots throws today
As far as everything working right, some days we have played better defense and some days we have played better offense, but today was one of those magical days where everything just seemed to go right for us. The shots went in, the free throws went in and we defended well.
bunch came early great shots win
We came out and made a bunch of shots early and got a little confidence. It's a great win for us.
cover defensive finished foul free missed shot throw
One defensive play, one foul or one turnover, one shot that's not finished or one missed free throw is magnified because we don't have an Antoine Wright to cover up mistakes.
afraid second shoot shots
We were afraid to shoot the ball. You can't shoot shots as a second thought.
either exactly joe knows reminded shot
Joe shouldn't have shot it. He knows that. It was my fault. I probably should have either called another timeout right there and told them exactly what we wanted to do or just reminded Joe that we didn't really need to have a 3-point shot at that point.
afraid guys offense shots
These guys aren't afraid to miss. We made some shots today. That makes your offense look a lot 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.
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.
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.
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.
