best conference debate prove team trying
There's a debate out there about who the best team in the conference is. This team is trying to prove it's us.
both force jumping kentucky left tried trying
They were really overemphasizing jumping on my right hand. They were trying to force me to go left. Kentucky tried it, but I was still able to get around it. I can go both ways, but I like going to my right hand. My left is a little weak.
trying
I'm trying to get on ESPN. That's what that is.
anybody happen lost seeing
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.
came
It was an embarrassment. They came out and manhandled us.
body language mad playing
(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.
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.
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.
everybody loses streak
I don't think it'll be tough. A streak is a streak. Everybody loses a streak once in awhile.
behind crowd somebody
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.
bad floor good practice work
I was surprised. He didn't really say anything to them at halftime. All he said was they weren't getting on the floor enough. I don't think they're down about it. They just feel bad they didn't come with all they got tonight. I don't think they're down. They'll just come to practice tomorrow, work real hard, and get back on coach's good side.
