areas continue definitely game improve improvement night ready
Every game in this league, as you know in any league, that night you've got to be ready to play. We've got to continue to improve. There are areas we definitely can improve in.
doubt game plays
When the game was in doubt, they made plays and we didn't.
best far game gave mike since williams
Mike Williams gave us by far and away his best game since he's been at Texas.
couple depends games next season
If the season was over today, you could make a case. There's too many games to speculate. It depends on what we do these next couple of games.
game knew loves
He loves this game. I knew he would be a person that would come back from it.
game separates
His versatility is what separates him. There's not really a part of the game he can't handle.
basketball coming games good lost team
(Kelvin) lost some games when he didn't have his whole team there. Coming in (to the season) they were like us, a team that was up there. And they're a good basketball team.
game good win
We have one game left. If we're good enough to win the league, we'll win it.
deal game mess teams
The teams that mess up are the ones that play not to lose. You don't want to be the first game of the tournament. You'd probably want to be in the middle, but you just have to deal with it.
advantage front game guys move next worry
I don't know if it's an advantage or a disadvantage. I told the guys were only going to worry about the game in front of us. From there, you move on to the next one if you're successful.
best bounce game lost night spent time
I didn't know how P.J. would react. What he went through the other night was tough. We spent a lot of time to tell him he could bounce back. I told him the best thing would be to get lost in the game defensively and thought he was really good.
eight game might nine winning won
In some ways, winning a game like this might be better for us than if we won by eight or nine points. We had to work.
game next win
I just want to win the next game we play, and then the next one after that. All I know is, we can't let down.
games six teams won
That's just stupidity. It's like the Indianapolis Colts (who won their first 13 games). We're six games in; teams are going to get better.
