basketball five good people ranked start three top
Look at Oklahoma. They start three seniors. They're a good basketball team. If people thought they were just going to go away, they (were wrong). You don't get ranked in the top five in the preseason if you don't have a good basketball team.
anybody chance final good
I think they've got as good a chance as anybody in the Final Four.
basketball good
I still think we should be a good basketball team.
against defense good percent shoots team time
Our defense was good. Any time a team shoots 32 percent against you, you feel pretty good about it.
basketball doubted good guys kept tough tremendous
Our guys showed a tremendous will to win. We had some tough times, but we kept believing, and our guys never doubted they were a good basketball team.
ball good job minutes played rotation smarter
I thought the first 20 minutes we were outstanding defensively. I thought we played smarter defensively, and I thought we did a good job of corralling to the ball and rotation was pretty good for the most part.
athletic create defensive effort good great maybe realize seen
I thought they were great defensively, maybe as good a defensive effort as I've seen this year. They really realize their athletic ability. They can create a lot of problems.
aggressive couple decisions fact free good guys happy job last needed pushed run seven situation stayed staying throws
I thought our guys did a good job of staying aggressive the last couple of minutes. We probably didn't make as many good decisions as we needed to be making in that situation but, overall, when they made their run and got back in it, we stayed with it. We pushed it back out there and made some free throws at the end. I'm happy with the fact that we had only seven turnovers and the job we did on the boards.
game good win
We have one game left. If we're good enough to win the league, we'll win it.
games good people plenty six teams
That's stupidity. We're six games in. That's just something for people to write about. There are plenty of good teams in this conference.
basketball coming five good people ranked six start team three top
Coming in, they were like us, a team that's up there. They start three seniors, and they are a good basketball team. If people thought they were just going to go away, you don't get ranked in the top five or six in the preseason if you don't have a good team.
basketball good penn
There's no question. They're not going to take Penn lightly. They know better than that, and they know they're going to have to play good basketball to be successful.
five free game good great job might night shooting throw worst
This might be the worst game he's had shooting 3s, but he did a great job at the free throw line. With those five assists, it was a real good night for him.
allow ask believe business chasing creep focused good handle outside stay ups week work
Ask me in a week or so and I'll tell you. I don't know. Sometimes I think I do, sometimes I'm not sure. I haven't thought about it much. I believe that if you work and you go about your business the way you need to every day, and if you keep focused and don't allow outside things to creep in and if you're chasing something and if you stay with it, handle the ups and downs, I think that some way, somehow, something good will happen.
