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.
oklahoma played playing pressured state teams tough
I thought it was two teams playing really hard. I thought Oklahoma State played really tough and it rebounded well and pressured us out of what we wanted to do. We kind of did the same to them for awhile.
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.
looked needs piece played
Julian needs to play more. When he's played well, he's looked great. When he doesn't play well, he doesn't find a way to piece it together. It's been a feast-or-famine situation. He is getting more consistent.
good guards played russell
Mario, Brandon and Russell all played very, very well. When they play well, they're about as good as any guards around, in my opinion.
columbia forget great guy hurt offensive people played points post six
That was big because people forget that Young was the guy who really hurt us in Columbia with 14 points and six offensive rebounds. I thought that (Kaun) played great post defense, and C.J., too.
five last past played
We played well last week. We've played really well the past five games.
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.
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.
energy feet last offensive outside played shots three ugly yesterday
I don't think we played with the same energy we did last night. But we made shots. ... Yesterday we made three shots outside of 6 feet for the game. Three. Today, if we did not make shots, it would have really been an ugly offensive game.
played
If we'd played man, he would have had 25 points.
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.
bad certainly december duke dwell game good played roll team texas
We've been on a pretty good roll and certainly played a bad game tonight. Texas didn't become a bad team after Duke (a 31-point setback December 10) and we didn't become a bad team after these 40 minutes. We certainly aren't going to dwell on that.
played regular
Yes, we played better than what we did during the regular season.
