beat character good looks open separation team three
Defensively, we were about as good as we can be. When the separation occurred, we did things that were out of character for us. We had three open looks we didn't make. We had to have those to beat a team like Texas.

He's just a good basketball player, and the opportunity presented itself and he's done a good job with his opportunity. All you want from your young guys when they're given that chance is to play their very best. It looks like he's really stepped his game up.

It was critical for us. I thought our guys did a good job early on, but you know they are going to make a run.

I thought Friedrich?s three-point play in the first half was huge. We were a struggling basketball team at that time. It really settled us. And from that point on, I thought we ran a little bit of a better offense.
doubt dropping game gotta shots terrific timely win
I think we were timely in our shots dropping tonight, and that's what you gotta do if you're going to win a game like this on the road. It's a terrific win for us, no doubt about it.
athletics league mean overall philosophy respect stance
I think our league has a philosophy and a stance on what they think athletics should mean to their institutions and overall as a league. I think that's what they want to do, and I respect that greatly.
