against daniel kansas presence proved step win
We proved against Kansas we can win without Daniel being a big presence for us on offense. You don't want to see that. But if it happens, in those 40 minutes, you've got to find someone else who can step up and get it done for you.
daniel doubt guard hand playing pride puts quicker time wanting wants
One thing about Daniel is he does take a lot of pride in wanting to guard people. If I called a time out, say someone is playing really well, and I say 'who wants to guard them?' There's no doubt he puts his hand up quicker than anybody.

We tried to keep two guys down around the block. Every now and then we would float somebody into the high post. We felt like if we could take care of the ball, get it on the rim, that we could do some damage there. We ended with 17 of them (offensive rebounds) and that gave us 17 more opportunities.

The whole team put in a great effort and our inside game was just great. Back in the beginning of the season ... I knew it was going to be a tough finish for us.
And they probably could have called about 50 more (fouls).
