played scouting team
They've only played one game, so we don't have scouting reports. I think they're going to be a very competitive team when you play them in Waco.
ball played pressure puts
The first half, I thought defensively we played well enough, but we couldn't get the ball in the basket. If the ball doesn't go in the hole, it just puts that much more pressure on you.

bit considered emphasis games last members ncaa quite road selection talked team win
I've talked to members of the selection committee, and to at least be considered for the NCAA Tournament, you have to win some road games. They also put quite a bit of emphasis on what a team does in the last 10 games of the season.

I think we just got outplayed. I think Oklahoma just played better than we did. They certainly displayed the fact that they were a little tougher than we were.

He has very good quickness. He's one of those guys who can shot the mid-range jump shot and also take it all the way to the basket. If you leave him alone out there, he can hit some treys.
across amazing coaches country hang talk
I'll just have to see how I feel. It's amazing how many coaches across the country have called and told me, 'Don't hang it up. Get back out there and coach some more.' I'll talk to our coaches and see how I feel.

We are excited to be playing in the Las Vegas Holiday Invitational again, ... We have a very inexperienced team this season, and by playing in the tournament, it gives us three extra games, which will be invaluable during the stretch run.
brought horrible played seems teams
We played horrible guarding the three-point line. It seems to me they out-toughed us on some rebounds... The thing that disappointed me the most is I didn't think we competed as well as some of the other teams we've brought here.

We've completed what we consider a very challenging and demanding schedule, ... With the games we have set up during the non-conference portion of our schedule, we feel it gives our players an opportunity to gain valuable experience before facing the rugged Big 12 Conference.

thinking differences defense
I think there's a vast difference between the Big12 and some of the other major conferences. I think it is tougher to score in this conference, just because of the emphasis on defense.
amaze continue special sure team won
We've won a lot of championships, but I'm not sure that any one of them is any more special than this one. This team has come so far. They continue to amaze me.
absolutely adore asked flock kids lady last letter love matter oklahoma people picture seek son state thinking
The people from Oklahoma State absolutely adore him, ... It doesn't matter if they're 4 or 5, or people in their 70s. They love him here. Kids flock to him. At our (summer basketball) camps, he's the one they seek out. I got a letter from a lady last week. She said she asked her 8-year-old son what he wanted for Christmas. I'm thinking a truck, a bike, some toy. He told her he wanted an autographed picture of JamesOn.
