early few focus games line lost talk talking team weeks won
We've won some games we shouldn't. We probably lost some games we should've won. We just need to focus on getting better. If a few weeks down the line we're still in the hunt, we can talk about it later. But it's too early for our team to be talking about anything like that.
few games hump last won
They've won a lot of games in a lot of different ways. Buzzer-beaters, last-second shots. We've had our chances, we just haven't been able to get over the hump the last few years.
crowd game third won
That's probably the third game they've won for us this year. The crowd wouldn't let us quit.

You're always disappointed but I wasn't shocked. I felt we were probably a win or two short. That's the way it ended up.

It's a tough way to end the season. We found a way to stay in the game ... we just didn't finish it.
brian business job kansas next obviously opportunity ready realize state step time
Brian has been ready for this opportunity for a long time. He's always done an outstanding job for me at Creighton, Kansas State and Marshall. Obviously I'd like to keep him with me, but in this business you realize that everyone's time comes to step up to that next level, and I really think it's time for Brian.
phase
They outworked us; they out-toughed us in every phase of the game, and we got what we deserved.

I talk to the players all the time about not making excuses. I'm probably the worst at making excuses. You've just got to keep going. The players have shown a lot of resiliency, and I appreciate that.
found hit
They found a way to win. They just hit some big shots.
fighting toughness
I thought we showed a lot of resiliency and toughness in fighting back. We were in trouble, obviously.
