certainly extra fans rest
Our fans were certainly disappointed and all that stuff. But I'm thinking, we have an extra day's rest and it doesn't hurt.
certainly felt hold kids nice regular texas trophy
Our kids didn't get to feel the way Texas felt (in the regular season). It was certainly nice to hold that trophy today.
certainly coaches deserved deserving honorable led level mario played russell start third
I thought Mario deserved third team, and I thought Russell (Robinson) deserved honorable mention, but there's a lot of other coaches that say the same thing about their players. Brandon certainly played at a certain level and led us from start to finish. He's deserving of that.
certainly deserves deserving guy level played tie
He deserves it. If you're going to tie for the championship, I think you have to have one guy up there. Brandon certainly played at a level deserving of that.
base certainly good guard guys hard
He's hard to guard because he's unorthodox. He doesn't have a good base yet. Guys can certainly dislodge him from certain positions.
certainly controlled guards played
Their guards were terrific. They played well and certainly controlled the game.
certainly energy improve last needed played
I don't think we played with the same energy we did last night. We did what we needed to do but certainly we can improve in a lot of areas.
certainly effective stretch sunday
Certainly it will be a stretch for him to be effective on Sunday -- if he is able to play at all. He did the splits.
certainly figure guys hopefully job knock played position shot trying
He's young and just is trying to figure it out. ... I probably played Brandon too many minutes, and that may have contributed to him not being as effective. He said he wasn't tired, but certainly we've got to do a better job of getting guys in there and hopefully put them in a position where they can knock down a shot and give us a boost.
certainly eight knew league quick six successful turnaround wherever wins zero
I've never thought of that -- 'Is he a quick turnaround guy?' But he certainly has become that. I knew he would be very successful wherever he went, but I didn't know he would take UTEP from six to 24 or A&M from zero to eight in league wins -- and do it overnight, which is what he has done.
against certainly grew guys learn playing process proud teams ugly win
Teams learn how to win when they're not playing well and this team did that against Oklahoma. It's a maturation process with this team, but I think the guys really grew up in that game. Teams have to learn how to win ugly sometimes and we certainly did that. I couldn't be more proud of them.
breathe iowa lead state talented teams
Once we got our lead back up to nine, we could breathe a little easier. Iowa State is one of the most talented teams we've played.
sweeter
From my standpoint, this was sweeter than any of the other ones that I have had, because we started 1-2.
creative freedom
You don't want to take away his freedom to make creative plays.
