great job running second
The second half, we did a great job of running our stuff. We had great movement, we set great screens.
maybe motion pure run
We don't run a motion maybe in the pure sense. We run some sets, we run some continuity. We've been able to do it different ways.
game run
When the game got tight, out of every timeout we would run something for Michael.
asked kid run wall
That kid would run through a wall if you asked him to,
beat behind far gets guard kevin line run sea thinking
They run out there behind that three-point line and it's kind of like a sea to them. Kevin doesn't guard three-point shooters . . . In the back of Kevin's mind, when he gets that far out, the first thing he's thinking about is getting beat off the dribble.
dice roll
We just had to roll the dice and keep Terrell in there.
boards extra gave happen kicked
We just gave them too many extra possessions. They kicked out butts on the boards and that doesn't happen very often.

We lost a one-point game and a two-point game without our best shooter. I knew when we got him back we'd be a lot better shooting team.
clock good shot sign
We had them at the end of the shot clock a lot tonight, but Jackson, he just made big plays. That's the sign of a good player.

start
I see this as something like a snowball. Get it rolling, and it's got to start somewhere.
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.
defensive good score trying
They are a good defensive team. We were trying to score as much as we could, but they just wouldn't let us.
