foul free hit mean mike three tough
You've got to give Mike credit. Just because they called the foul doesn't mean he's going to hit all three free throws. He was tough enough to make those.
bounce kids
These kids will bounce back. It's not like we're 8-20. We're 20-8.

A kid that you don't hear a lot about, he gets it done on the court. He's a tough kid, understands how to play. When he goes for a rebound, he's a man.

amazing balances felt game hat kansas stuff tip tonight
The Kansas game was one that we felt like we should have won. Tonight was one that we probably shouldn't have. It's amazing how that stuff balances out, isn't it? But I have to tip my hat to our kids' will to win.

He can be as good as he wants to be. If he'd been a little better in Chicago (at the NBA pre-draft camp), he wouldn't even be in college. He's a pro. There's no area of the game that he isn't good at.
area game good guys last lift reason talent team unique wants whatever year
He can be as good as he wants to be. Had he been a little better last year in Chicago, he wouldn't even be in college. There's a reason why he was in Chicago. He's a pro. Whatever team he's on, he automatically is going to lift that team to a different level. He's a unique talent with his length. Guys that athletic, guys that long usually aren't that good of 3-point shooters. But there's no area of the game that he's not good at.
believe games guys today
I just believe in our program. I told our guys today that these are the games we've always won.

I don't want to make excuses, but he just couldn't move.
bounce opportunity points situations three unfamiliar
We're three points away from being 2-0 in the league. But we're 0-2. Unfamiliar territory, but I look at situations like this as an opportunity to bounce back and do something unique.
