buzz game inside link oklahoma outside punish ran shooting state though weak weapons
They're an extraordinary team. They've got a lot of weapons - the outside shooting and the inside play, the rebounding game. They can punish you on the boards. I don't see any weak link in their game right now even though they went to Oklahoma State and ran into a buzz saw.

We're finding ways to lose instead of finding ways to win. That's really unfortunate. You come a million miles in a game, and you know that you need to finish it in a positive way and we haven't been able to do that in the last week and a half. If it isn't one thing it's another.
