The fact that we're playing Oklahoma State, that's got our attention. They are a tough team. Very talented, very physical team. We're going to have our work cut out for us.
ncaa people program
I know it's not what people want to hear, because we're not in the NCAA Tournament. But for this program to be in post-season for two years in a row, it's a positive. It bodes well for our program as we're building.

In the first half we played well defensively and that was the key. I thought, in the second half, we lost focus a little defensively. In the second half, they got some uncontested shots. They're good players and they're going to make uncontested shots if you give them to them.

He's the best point guard in the league.

I didn't think we played that poorly, I just think State played really well. They shot the ball tremendously that day and they were playing at a high level. I told Herb after the game that he had a heck of a team. I think they are the second best team in the league right now. It will take a yeoman's effort for us to beat them.

He's the same before every game. I don't notice anything different in him before these kinds of games.

He's on a roll. He's a tremendous concern of ours. His play has definitely bumped up in the last couple of games, and we've got to do a great job on him. ... You have to be conscious of where he's at on the floor at all times because he's got tremendous anticipation.
