definitely guys knows pass teammates
He's one of those guys you'd definitely like to coach. He really knows how to pass the ball, and he knows how to set his teammates up.
fear great maturity mentally respect shows
I didn't think they'd get starry-eyed. I think they're mentally tough. They know what they are, a blue-collar team. They respect all their opponents, but they don't have fear of anyone. That shows great maturity on their part.
final finished game hopefully team win
I am not a politician. I haven't been. I won't be. You don't have to be when you play in the Big 12. You finished fourth, you win your first game in the tournament, you play a team that's hopefully going to the Final Four.
people
I don't think too many people think 46-44 is beautiful. But I really do.
defends fits good great handle imposing overlook point true wants
He's not a great shooter, but he makes a lot of shots. He's not an imposing defender, but he really defends well. He's not a true point guard, but he can handle the ball. Everyone wants someone who fits a profile, and sometimes we overlook someone who's just a good player.
coached good harder played smarter whipping
Got a good whipping tonight. They played harder than us. They played much, much, much smarter than us. ... They executed, played with discipline, they played hard, they got to the basket, they did what they were coached to do. They have good players, and I can see why they are getting better in a hurry.

Every basket's big in a game decided by four points, but those were very big baskets for a freshman.

That's the best one we've had here in my two years at A&M.

It's a great win for us against one of the most well-respected, winning basketball programs in the history of the game.

No, I think we were already in. I'm not a politician, but if you're paying attention, there's no question about it.
captured fun interest name until watch
They captured everyone's interest and imagination. ... It was fun to watch them until they called our name to play them. Then, it wasn't so funny.
people texas whether work
You come to Texas A&M, and people say you can't do it there. It's yet to see whether we can, because we have a lot of work to do. But I think you can say we're on the right track.
ball basket destroy great guy guys hope knows send stop totally
You can't stop a big guy like that. You just have to hope he doesn't totally destroy you. If you do too much, and send too many guys his way, he is a great passer. He just knows how to put the ball in the basket and make everyone better.
destroy guy hope stop totally
You can't really stop a guy like that. You just hope he doesn't totally destroy you.
