game good guys job
As the game progressed, I thought our guys did a good job of just playing.
gets good great guys hands job missed
What sometimes gets missed is he's a great passer too. Our guys did a good job getting up on him and getting their hands up.
continue guys physical
He's relentless, obviously. There are a lot of guys that have the same physical attributes, but I think for him, it's as much mental. He'll come at you and continue to come at you.
compliment continue forget greatest group guys knocked looks people record tend
This group of guys has been knocked on their backsides and they continue to get back up. I think that's the greatest compliment I can give them. Everyone looks at their record this year, and that's something they've earned, but sometimes people tend to forget what we went through to get to this point.
against dominate second spells team
We didn't get a lot of second opportunities. A lot of times it was one and done. Against a team like West, that spells trouble. That being said, they did dominate the glass, yet we still had opportunities.
both excitement extremely good great happy kids played proud teams
This was just two good teams going at each other toe-to-toe. It was a great atmosphere, great excitement and great intensity. I thought both teams played extremely hard. I'm very happy for our kids and I'm very proud of them.
both charged hearts played teams
Very intense. I thought both teams played their hearts out in a very charged atmosphere.

Everything I ever worked for is right in this house, ... Fair is fair, dude.

Bill understands the important role of the KGS in the research and service missions of the university and is working to build closer ties with the rest of the campus. He recognizes that all public service at KU begins with teaching and research and has provided outstanding leadership the past two years and made excellent hires during the interim. Thanks to his efforts, the KGS is in a strong position and poised to be of even greater service to Kansas.
ball defensive effort maintain nights shoot shot
We shot the ball well and that makes everything a lot better. There's going to be nights where we don't shoot the ball well, and hopefully, our defensive effort will maintain us.
bit convert created far good hard job meeting night talked value work
We did a pretty good job of converting those turnovers into baskets. Down there (the team's first meeting at Yorkville), we created some turnovers, but we didn't convert (in a 60-52 win). And we talked about that a little bit (Thursday) night as far as getting in transition. You work hard to get the ball, so let's value it.
conference front game kids needed proud understand
I have been very proud of these kids in their willingness to look at what is right in front of them. This is a conference game that our kids needed to understand ? and they did ? how important it was to us.
basket finished guy half lift offensive position tail worked
Matt's basket at the end of the first half was a big lift for us. He's a guy who just worked his tail off to get in position (for the offensive rebound) and then finished the shot.
