impacts name team voting
I don't know where Blalock is going to end up in the voting, but I really like him. (Curtis) Stinson made his name a little quicker, but (Blalock) impacts their team more than anybody.

I am grateful for the opportunity Kansas State gave us to coach and lead this program. We wish we could have accomplished more, but it was a great experience and I appreciate the players, staff, administration and our great fans for all they have done to support us.
acute attention believe condition correct critical doctors hate health immediate informed juncture measures past season serious step suffering team
I have been suffering with this condition for much of the season and it has become more acute over the past 10 days. The doctors have informed me that without immediate attention that this condition will only become more serious and permanent. I hate to step away from the team at such a critical juncture of the season, but I believe that I have to take measures now to correct these health issues.

amazing ball drop game offensive stop
That is a pretty amazing way to drop that game today. It's just really unfortunate. You've got to make an offensive play; you've got to be able to get the ball down court; you've got to be able to stop somebody.
case future happening road season teams
It's stunning, isn't it? Not stunning, maybe, but surprising, that that many teams went on the road and won. I don't think that's going to be the case as season progresses from here. We're projecting the future here, but I don't see that happening very often.
improbable win
It's an improbable win if you look at where we were Wednesday.
good guard knew strong talent talented teams top win
It's been a combination of talent and good coaching. Their guard play has been better for them, and they always play good strong defense. They're just awfully talented and strong. I didn't think they would win 10 in a row, but I knew they would end up as one of the top teams in our league.
