It surprised me. I was getting the shots I wanted, I just was missing them. I was getting frustrated, I just couldn't get myself into the game.

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.
aggressive dropping finding guards open point second shots
I just started being more aggressive in the second half. The point guards were finding me and I was getting open shots. My shots started dropping and I was getting kind of hot.

I underestimated them a little bit, seeing how they lost to Nebraska. But that won't happen again. We won't underestimate anybody any more.

It was an embarrassment. They came out and manhandled us.

There's a debate out there about who the best team in the conference is. This team is trying to prove it's us.

(Saturday), even my body language wasn't good. I got mad at myself out there. I'm not playing relaxed. I just need to be more aggressive.
coming free good helps mad mario points pressure ready relieve russell shooting starting
Russell coming back in was a real big deal. He helps relieve the pressure a lot on me and Mario (Chalmers, 21 points of 6-of-9 shooting and 6-of-9 free throwing), and he's starting to become a real good scorer. He was ready to get back out there. He was pretty mad about getting the two fouls.

We finally proved to people that we can win tough games. We wanted to prove we were the best team in the Big 12.

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.

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.

Gymnastics. I was 10 and doing a back flip and broke my elbow so bad the bone was sticking out.

I don't think it'll be tough. A streak is a streak. Everybody loses a streak once in awhile.

I did that because I thought somebody was behind me. I was going to try to do something crazy, was going to try to go through the legs, get the crowd real hyped.
