coach everybody family oklahoma respect state thoughts
I think everybody has so much respect for coach Sutton. When something like that happens, we all feel our own mortality. He and the Oklahoma State family are in our thoughts and prayers.
against difference good oklahoma played simple texas today
Oklahoma was the difference today from the first game. We just didn't have it today. I thought Texas played good against us the first time. But we didn't show up today. It was simple as that.
game harder oklahoma practiced teams time
This is the first of my 12 teams at Oklahoma that have practiced harder than they played. They practiced and competed hard this week. But come game time they didn't play as hard as they should have.
court left oklahoma remember
I've been at Oklahoma for 12 years, but I don't remember many times that I've left the court where I was embarrassed as I was tonight.
last league oklahoma won year
We won the league last year and didn't get to play in Oklahoma City.
good kids lucky oklahoma order won
In order to say you got lucky, well you've got to be good enough to get lucky first of all. We won the game, so give Oklahoma some credit. They could have won it, but we won it. That's why you give our kids a lot of credit.
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.
guys played
I thought he played like a veteran. His play is so important for us. He makes all these guys better.
forward fun looking team
I think this is going to be a fun team to watch. I'm really looking forward to getting started.

That call could have could have went either way. Sometimes you've just got to have a break.
