coach earlier easier knew quit type
We knew Coach Snyder wasn't that type of guy. It would have been easier for him to quit earlier in the season, but we've been through so much we knew he didn't quit.
coach definitely earlier
I said earlier that if coach Watkins is here, I would definitely come back.
coach continue guy playing senior thinking year
Coach Snyder is the guy I want to play for, and I'm going to continue to play for. My senior year I want to play for Coach Snyder. ... It's not something that I'm thinking about right now because I'm playing for him right now, but at the end of the year, when the season's over ...
coach gave half
Coach said in the first half he thought I gave up on my team.
coach decided handle reason relationship stronger
I just decided I could handle school, and that it was important to be here for Coach. My relationship with Coach has been a lot stronger than some of the players, and that's the reason I showed up.
coach jeans knew next work worn
The next day, we're doing pre-practice work and he comes in with jeans on. Coach has never worn jeans to practice. From there we kind of knew something was wrong.
coaching continue create game plans search staff strategies trying
Right now we're still trying to search for that win. It doesn't get any easier. ... It's all in our control. We're the ones playing. All the coaching staff can do is continue to create strategies and game plans for us to go out and execute. We have to play the game.
chance coaches including sit talk
I've had a chance to sit down and talk with everyone involved, my family, coaches and teammates, and everyone has been so supportive, including our fans.
against foul heart kevin luckily missed reaching shots year
Those shots have been going in all year against us. My heart kind of dropped. Luckily, he missed it, and luckily Kevin (Young) didn't get called for a foul for reaching in.
missed
We missed 17 (shots) in a row? We really did?
against behind last
Nothing against Baylor, but being in last place behind Baylor is kind of embarrassing.
accustomed conscious early effort games gone heart hurt losing people played players streak throughout tried
I think it was just a conscious effort just to play better. I think if we had played like this throughout this losing streak a lot of games would have gone differently. I thought tonight, after the game a lot of players really hurt because of the loss. Early with a loss, we'd just get accustomed to it. This is a game that really hurt because I think that people really played their heart out and really tried to win.
best last rely team tend took
Last year, our team kind of splintered and we relied on 3-pointers to get us back into the game. We never really took it one play at a time. Personally, that was something that I relied on a lot last year. It was just a really up-and-down season, and when you struggle, you tend to rely on what you do best. Unfortunately, it wasn't what I was doing best last year.
quick ready trying turnaround win
We take a win any way we can get it right now. We're 5-4; we're trying to end up 7-4 before conference. Now we've got a quick turnaround to get ready for Oakland and Calvin Wooten, who's averaging 24.
