good pain team
I'm in a lot more pain with where we are as a team than I am with my neck. It doesn't look like a very good team to me right now, but that could change.
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.
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.
bad base doom fans gloom remains supported talking team top topic
There's not been this doom and gloom over the top of our heads. I think our team has been supported well by our base of fans out there. I just don't feel bad about what we're doing right now. The topic your talking about remains and has been dormant. It's just not something we concentrate on.

After playing Texas and Kansas, those teams look very, very strong to me. It would be hard for one of those teams not to win his tournament.

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.
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.
finding finish instead last lose miles million positive ways week
We're finding ways to lose instead of finding ways to win. That's really unfortunate. You come a million miles in a game, and you know that you need to finish it in a positive way and we haven't been able to do that in the last week and a half. If it isn't one thing it's another.
basketball control defense good kinds played stayed
We have had a lot of those kinds of games, but I thought we played good basketball. We stayed under control, played good defense and didn't get rattled.
anybody basketball beat coaches good players positive
We have a positive thing going with our basketball team. I think our players feel good about what we're doing. Our coaches feel that way. We've been competitive. We can beat anybody in our league.

I think we can -- and have -- played better.

I think they're very talented and he probably expected them to have a good year.
difference handful might whatever
I think in a handful of instances it's just one play that's made the difference between 6-10 or 8-8 or 9-7 or whatever it might have been.
