beat game last pressure redeem time trying win
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.
easy scattered seemed sort
They never seemed to get in a rhythm. They were sort of scattered and we got a lot of easy shots.
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.
definitely high tame york
It was a lot more tame than some New York games. But it definitely was high spirited.
expected hard paid people team tried
We're a young team and not too many people expected much out of us. We tried to go out there and play hard every day and it paid off.
easy helps
When we get some easy buckets, that helps the flow.
aggressive both cover covers feed gamble great job passing
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.
rest
I know he'll get all out of us that he can. The rest is up to us.
fans guess maybe pressure puts trying
I guess maybe trying to live up to expectations of the fans maybe puts a little more pressure on us at home.
confident consistent hard hopeful keeping playing team
I'm consistent in going hard. Sometimes you can go hard one day and not show up the next. It's kind of my routine, working hard, keeping at it defensively. We're playing pretty well as a team right now. We're confident and hopeful we can keep it up during this stretch.
fighting seven three
I didn't know it was our only three (in seven tries). I think it was real big. It got us over the hump. We had been fighting and fighting, and it got us the lead.
came delivered fired knew late loss saturday texas tough
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.
again forward guess happens looking meet upset
He was a little upset he lost. He said we'll see what happens when we get home. I guess we'll meet up again when we get back home. He's looking forward to that.
