I'm very proud of our kids, very happy for our kids. We're just trying to keep playing.
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.
beyond coaches deal four games good great neat people relationships sophomore teams three time treated
The neatest thing for us is the coaches we get to deal with (that were in this) are all great people. We have relationships with them that go beyond basketball. To have three of the four Tri-Cities teams come in and play is a neat thing. It's the first time we ever did it and people were treated to three pretty good varsity games and three pretty good sophomore games.

They came with great passion. Fortunately for our kids, we were able to get some things done down the stretch.
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.

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.

As the game progressed, I thought our guys did a good job of just playing.

Very intense. I thought both teams played their hearts out in a very charged atmosphere.
investors looking meeting might months second three
You have to show your persistence. Investors are looking for that persistence. You have the second meeting and keep talking, and three months later, they might write a check.
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.

The wind resource is there, it's the transmission constraint.
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.
