We came out and made a bunch of shots early and got a little confidence. It's a great win for us.
backwards good harder played smarter step took whipping
We got a good whipping tonight. They played harder than us. They played much, much, much smarter than us. Give them all the credit. We took a step backwards tonight.
attack ball bit moving reason second tried
We got a little bit better in the second half. We got the ball moving and tried to attack inside. It's the way we have to play, and it's the reason we had a chance.
capable great last magical program winning
We lucked out last week, but it was a magical win. It's a great program capable of winning the championship this year. We have to muster enough to be as competitive as we can.
push success
We always try to push the ball. Sometimes we just have a little more success than we do at other times.
playing worthy
We are worthy of playing in the tournament, but I am not politicking. We have to do more to get that chance, though.
attacking hole missing needed ourselves stood
We put ourselves in a big hole by missing shots. We should have been attacking better, but we stood around and didn't do what we needed to do.
carries confidence guys physical trying
We just keep trying hard. We're not an imposing, physical team, but we do play very well together, and that's what carries us through. Our guys have a lot of confidence in our man-to-man defense.
mental
We just made so many mental mistakes, and that's embarrassing to me. And that is my fault.
fans great players surface
We're on the surface of what I think we're going to be able to accomplish. This is a great place, and we've got great support. Our players are hungry, and our fans are hungry.
days magical today
Today was one of those magical days where everything went right for us.
games
We're in the Big 12 and this is just the way games are. Preparation is easy, but converting is hard. We were right there. We just have to convert.
attack stood watched zone
We stood around and watched and weren't really aggressive. Our zone attack was very stinky today, without question.
afraid second shoot shots
We were afraid to shoot the ball. You can't shoot shots as a second thought.
