best defensive equation factor good guys last majority night offense playing second team
The other thing our offense wasn't very good last night at all. If the offense isn't very good, I think you are better off playing your best defensive team the majority of time. That also could factor into the equation why those guys didn't get in the second half.
approach exact fairly guys totally
We're not going to say, 'OK, you guys have done great, but this is a totally different now. We'll approach it the exact same way. We'll try to keep the guys loose, and they should be because they're fairly confident.
good grades shape
We're in good shape with that. Our grades have been good. We're in good shape in that area.
best four games good home played road worst
We've actually played better away from home. Our four road games are the best games we've played all year. Our fourth-best home game hasn't been as good as our worst road game.
consider daily guy hand hot knew maybe nice opposed particular stuff sure team
We still don't have a guy we consider to be a go-to guy, and that's going to make it tough. We've got to be a team that's balanced, but it sure would be nice if we knew who to try to get stuff for from a daily standpoint, as opposed to maybe who has a hot hand that particular moment.
blame crowds excited expected sandwich spoiled
We're spoiled with the crowds we get here. We can't blame the crowd for us being dull, because we didn't give them much to get excited about. But I expected it. It was a sandwich game.
cal foot kept needed played since tonight win
We needed a win like this. We've played better since Cal (a 69-56 win on Dec. 10), but we really haven't rocked anybody. But tonight we kept the foot on the gas.
base basketball certainly
We did not do all the things that we should have done. Basketball isn't like football. You don't base everything on one game. You base everything over time, and there were certainly some things that we did out of character.
basketball glasses desire
Desire outweighs footwork when it comes to crashing the glass
physically playing
We're still playing better physically than we are mentally.
closer consistent last personal reasons statements stay visited week
What Micah and I visited about should stay between Micah and myself. What he said was consistent with his statements last week (about personal reasons to play closer to home).
exposure icing playing program today
Today couldn't have been scripted much better for Kansas. This did a lot for our program from an exposure standpoint. Playing well was icing on the cake.
guys happens internet perform sensitive
What happens on the Internet is some (players) are sensitive and some guys aren't. Some guys look at that stuff; some guys don't. The guys that don't usually perform better.
ball covers guess multitude shooting
We probably didn't play as well as the score. Shooting covers up a multitude of sins, I guess is the expression. They got the ball where they wanted to get it the first 10 minutes, they just didn't convert.
