couple
Julian's going to have some turnovers because of the way he plays, and we're going to have to live with some of them, but a couple of them, in my opinion, are just non-basketball-type plays.
answers couple late mario shot
Mario had the big answers for us tonight. He had a couple of big three-pointers late in the shot clock.
bright couple course last thinking
Of course it is a big deal. But they don't need to go in thinking, 'Hey, this is our chance. This is a big, bright stage,' or anything like that. They just need to go in thinking about the same things they've been thinking about for the last couple of months.
cost couple four good shooting teams three
Everybody's shooting two or three or four a game. I think with teams like that, it's why you don't shoot as good a percentage. But 8-for-17 is miserable. It's already cost us a couple of games.
chapter chose couple dealing enjoyed focus hopefully needs next process
The thing is, Micah Downs, hopefully after today, will not warrant any of our thought process over the next couple months. Our focus needs to be on this team. Obviously, he chose not to be part of it. This is not something that we have enjoyed dealing with at all, and this chapter is closed.
frame game good guarantee mind next
I think that game did a lot for our confidence. It doesn't guarantee we're going to play well in the next game, but we're probably in about as good a frame of mind as we have been in all year.
apologize elite everybody finishing gives good impression last league second winning year
It gives everybody the impression that we didn't do that well. ... We had a good year last year. I don't think we should apologize for winning the league or finishing second the year before and going to the Elite Eight.
bringing changes enhance positive
I think these changes will be positive for the conference. If anything, I think they will enhance it. Look at what we're bringing in.

Last week Keith complained of soreness is his knee. He had an MRI on Monday, which revealed some very slight cartilage damage. Keith, his mother and the medical staff then got together and decided to repair it now instead of having it be a nuisance throughout the season.
coached kids means oral rest roberts season teams telling
I think (conference tournaments) get teams (prepared) to play the whole year. I coached at Oral Roberts when it was an independent. Try telling those kids on Feb. 10 the rest of the season means something.
bearing either games goes last numerous phases played quite recent team
I think every team goes through phases where they don't play quite as well, especially away from home. They probably haven't played as well in the last two games as they had been, but we've had numerous games like this as well. I don't know if the recent performances by either team will have much bearing on the game Saturday.
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.
confidence expected good grew guys pride team
We were 1-2 and not very good, guys got confidence and young guys grew up, and we got pretty good late. So to me I have more pride in the team that is not expected to (win), than a team that is expected to.

We were 1-2 and not very good, and guys got confidence and guys grew up and got pretty good late. To me, I have more pride with a team not expecting to do it, and do it, than a team that is expected to do it and does it.
