league locker sports stepping talking
We were just talking about that in the locker room, about how league play is different, and we're stepping up.
coming doubt doubts game picked shots
I thought the game was about done. We had big doubts about coming back. Then the shots started falling, and we picked it up on defense.
ahead couple earned games people prove respect
I think that we earned some respect today. We still have a couple of big games ahead of us, and we are still going to try and prove people wrong.
bad expected hard last paid people team toughness winning
I think it's great. We did get off to a bad start, but we showed some toughness by winning 12 of our last 13 games. We are a young team and not many people expected much out of us. We just try to go out there and play hard every day, and it paid off in the end.
games playing time
Really, that's the way he's been playing all the time in practice. But he hadn't been playing that much in games because of stuff.
everybody loses streak
I don't think it'll be tough. A streak is a streak. Everybody loses a streak once in awhile.
broke hate lead sleeping woke
Nah, I hate it. I was still kind of sleeping in the first half. I woke up, though, when they broke into our lead in the first half.
half head sat second talked
I wasn't into the game. My mind-set wasn't right. I sat down and talked to myself at halftime. The second half I relaxed. My head was in the game.
cool happy playing wondering
Julian is always playing around... non-stop even when everyone else is serious. He's happy over everything. At first, I was wondering about him, but I like that. He's a cool guy.
bad bone broke elbow flip sticking
Gymnastics. I was 10 and doing a back flip and broke my elbow so bad the bone was sticking out.
best finally games people prove proved team tough win
We finally proved to people that we can win tough games. We wanted to prove we were the best team in the Big 12.
deserve
I do think we deserve to be ranked. We did a little better than I thought.
heads knew prepared
I don't think they were prepared for today, because we knew in our heads that we were going to kill them.
feels good physical stick talking win
He's got a big mouth. He told me 'a physical game's not your style; stick to finesse.' It feels real good to win when they're talking smack.
