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.
nobody teams travel travels
There may be other teams that travel as well as we do, but nobody travels better.
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.
feather great kansas matched sweeping teams winning
Sweeping Kansas would be a great feather in K-State's cap. And winning over there, with the teams more evenly matched than in many years, would be a feather in our cap.
based best four great half jim job kansas last league perspective potential rick state team teams watched
From a coach's perspective, if I watched Jim Wooldridge's team or Rick Barnes' team, it makes a difference. Your job is based on how you do with the potential that you have. That's why I think Jim is a great coach. I think Kansas State is one of the best four teams in our league in the last half of the Big 12 season.
difference teams
If you're not a one or two seed, the difference between the teams is minimal.
basketball both college crowd heck last overtime personally plays regulation teams
Personally I think it was a heck of a college basketball game. The crowd was great. Both teams competed their tails off. Plays at the end of regulation and overtime ... it was just unfortunate for us they made the last play.
adds atmosphere chances expected good great kansas matter pumped spice teams town
I expected it to be tough, and this would have been a great atmosphere no matter what. Usually, when Kansas comes to town it adds spice to the game. When we don't play well on the road, our chances aren't good because usually teams are pumped to play us.
offensive outside shots teams ugly
If we didn't make those outside shots today, it would have been an ugly offensive game. You have got to make shots when teams do that.
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.

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.
sweeter
From my standpoint, this was sweeter than any of the other ones that I have had, because we started 1-2.
