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.
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.
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.
across america college next smaller wave
The game's getting smaller across America, even in the NBA. I think that's the next wave in college basketball.

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.

You don't want to take away his freedom to make creative plays.

They're an immature, fun and focused group. They don't get excited on the road. Even in the Missouri game, they weren't rattled.

I look around the county, and I see a lit of leagues like ours. With parity a lot of people think that means mediocrity.

I hated to see this happen. I'm not convinced he made the right decision.

It's not anyone's fault. It was just a matter of getting all of the information compiled and contacting the right people to make sure that he had completed all of the requirements.

That was a great victory by (A&M). It gives us a chance.
asks coaching danny everybody game last loved multiple ran second talked win
He showed a play they ran to win a game in the last second with Danny (Manning). We talked about multiple things. He always asks about how everybody is doing here (at KU). He loved coaching here.
deserving hope league policy recognized team whatever wins
I hope the policy is revisited because any team in our league that wins a championship is deserving of being recognized, any sport. Whatever championship it is, you should be recognized by your conference. Obviously, we were not.
