goal ncaa playing top year
My gosh, we're playing to get into the top four. Our only goal all year has been to get into the NCAA Tournament. Now, we're at that level.
highest talent void winning
This place has not been void of talent, it's just been a little void of winning at the highest level.
cinderella defense funny last learned offense playing second seems team tech tied
This isn't a Cinderella team. This is a team that's playing up to its expectations and you do it with defense first, rebounding second and offense third. It seems kind of funny that we're tied with La Tech for that last spot. That's where I learned all those things.

oklahoma played raise standards
Oklahoma played excellent. We played pretty good. We've got to raise our standards a little bit.

They had one thing we didn't have, and that was a Sophia Young.

She was the whole difference in the ballgame.

Baylor flat out-played us. I don't know if we were still in the hot dog line or what.

There has never been a region like this. Never. There is no way a basketball coach, whether they're in this region or the other regions, can say this region is fair.

We got beat by a better basketball team tonight, we got beat by a better-coached basketball team tonight, and we got beat by a team that executed their half-court offense a whole lot better than we did.
college definitely help preparing program
This program will definitely help them a lot in preparing for college.
goal achievement three
A goal is created three times. First as a mental picture. Second, when written down to add clarity and dimension. And third, when you take action towards its achievement.
