area chance comforting felt second shoot third
We felt like if there was an area we could dominate, it would be the boards. It's comforting to know we don't have to shoot well and we have a chance to make second and third shots.
figure good guard point
We're good at the guard position, but I don't think you can have two point guards. I think you need one. We've got to figure out who we're going to play there.
attribute good great kids playing win
We're playing good enough to win, and that's a great attribute to have. Our kids know how to win games.
behind patient people recruiting scenes work
Recruiting is not something you can rush. You have to be patient with it. At the same time, you have to work behind the scenes with the coaches. Those are the people I want to get to know the best.
active difference gibson good impressed team texas
I think Texas is good, but I don't think there's a lot of difference between the two teams. I thought Gibson was a lot more active today. Texas was good today, but I was more disappointed in our team than I was impressed with Texas.

college compliance head issue last major mistake ncaa nor programs rule seriously staff took
That was a mistake that we made. There really is no excuse. . . . I don't know that as a staff we took that rule seriously enough. I think if you look back at the compliance of our programs over the last 19 years as a major college head coach, we've never had an issue with NCAA rules, nor will we again.
body case colorado deserving hate seen teams
I would like to have seen Colorado get in because of their body of work, 9-7 in the league. But I'm a Big 12 guy. There are so many deserving teams you can make a case for. I'd hate to have the committee's job. It's tough.
dug happen heading hole knows ourselves playing stretch
Who knows what will happen in February? We dug ourselves into a hole early. But I like how we're playing heading into this stretch of the season.
