best cannot difference rest separated team texas
Texas has kind of separated itself. They're the one team that cannot be at their best and win, because they're good. There's not that much difference between the rest of us right now. We're all searching.
feeling guy hop
Sometimes, you have to know when a guy is feeling it. You could just tell for some reason, he got his hop back.

Sometimes you have to go with who is feeling it.
best college either immediate junior next recruiting season source team
Sometimes recruiting is either through convenience or necessity. We can't go into next season with the team we have right now up front. We have to have some help. And if you need immediate help, the best source for that is junior college right now and that's where we'll go. We need some size.
gone hardest
D.J. has been at every practice. He's our hardest worker. There's not a day gone by where we haven't called each other. He was the most important recruit.
confidence playing
Confidence is like a drug. Right now, we're playing with a lot of it.
crowd handle hard last played time
We couldn't have played any better for 34 minutes. We had the crowd out of the game. It's disappointing. This one is hard to handle because I thought we outplayed them for a long time and they outplayed us the last 6 minutes.
avoided game good great played week win
We played tough, we played with great determination. This was a very important game for us. Not just because we avoided going 0-3 (in the Big 12), but it is good to win and then have a week off to practice.

We had no answer for Blalock and Stinson. Iowa State has the two best guards on a single team in the Big 12.

That would probably help. I think P.J. is probably going to class now.
breaking game good kept telling
That was an important game for a lot of reasons. I kept telling (Everett) that he was one good game away from breaking out.
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.
