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.
ball finding glass good great job movement open relentless spots teammates
He did a great job of getting to the open spots and his teammates did a great job of getting him the basketball. He was pretty relentless on the glass at times, and I thought his teammates did a good job of finding him where he could get looks. I thought our ball movement as a team was pretty good.
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.
came effort faced great journey prior reality state teams three
This has been a journey. But the reality of it is, in a state tournament, we faced three teams prior to this and the journey came to an end for them, and unfortunately for us, the journey came to an end (in this game). But it didn't come to an end without a lot of great effort and a lot of tears.

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.

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.
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.
