five lost month national playing remember straight won
I remember when I was at Kansas, we lost five straight games. I told the team, 'We're playing great,' and we won the national championship a month later.
becoming best
Jamal, to me, is becoming our best perimeter defender. When did we think that would happen?
business played
Jamal played great, even without the (go-ahead) shot. He played hurt, he had no business being out there. He was great.

Katrina will dominate the forecast for Wednesday and Thursday.
although areas games good improvement injury last news talked today
I talked to Channing today and we already started listing those areas of improvement for the summer. Although we are disappointed we won't have him for the last 18 games of the season, it was good news that the injury was not any worse.
emphasis individual main necessary sit work
I think it is necessary to sit down and work for years and years to get it right. I think that's the main thing, that's what the emphasis has got to be on: individual work.
chance gives guys lose playing
It gives other guys a chance to play, but you lose a guy who's playing as well as he is, it's tough.
aggressive carry certainly decision difference feels high level played playing since worry
I think to play him and have this thing carry on is really unfair. I want it to be his decision (to come back) when he feels comfortable he can play and not worry about getting hit, because he certainly hasn't played the same way since the injury. He's not aggressive at all. You can really tell the difference because he was playing at such a high level before that.
job played tremendous
I think Tony's played him a lot. For the most part he did a tremendous job on him.
beat caliber ignore people
I think that's where people really started to take notice. To beat those caliber of teams, you can't ignore that.
ball case loose rarely shot turn
I think that's been the case all year. We don't take anything away defensively, we don't get loose balls, we don't get long rebounds. You rarely see us get a steal. And then we turn the ball over so many times without getting a shot and if you have any deficiencies at all on defense, you're getting killed in transition.
anybody blame blames defend worried
I was worried about Kendra. Antonio told me that's why he went into the stands, to defend his wife. ... We could have used him out there (on the floor). I don't blame him, though, and I don't think anybody blames him.
enthusiasm fight horrified looking proud
I was just looking for something to give us enthusiasm and effort, ... I would have been horrified if they didn't fight back. But I was proud of the effort.
acted chest ovation point points pump standing trying
I was just trying to point out to him, you get a standing ovation and pump your chest and Allen's got 25,000 points and he acted like (it was) no big deal.
