I'm a lot more confident now, a lot more comfortable. I know when to pick my spots.

We knew their situation. They came off a tough loss (45-44 Saturday at Texas A&M). We knew they'd come out fired up at home. They came out aggressive, but we delivered the knockout late in the game.
knew
We knew it would come down to who wanted it more.
bad hit reason today whatever
Today we were a little timid, for whatever reason I don't know. I think it was bad offense. We couldn't get in a rhythm, we couldn't hit anything. Luckily, we were able to keep the lead.

We both feed off of each other. We're both aggressive guards. We both like to gamble a little bit. We like to get steals, get up in passing lanes and things like that. He covers for me, and I cover for him, and I think we do a great job of that.

They never seemed to get in a rhythm. They were sort of scattered and we got a lot of easy shots.

There was a lot of pressure on us because they beat us the last time and we were trying to redeem ourselves. Plus, we were trying to win the Big 12 championship. It was a big game for us.
bang good learned physical
They got us pretty good the first time. But we learned a lot from that loss. We're just going to try and bang with those guys, be physical and come out with a win.
