The defenses they play, they play very well.
area athletic chicago good guys reason wants
Brandon can be as good as he wants to be. Had he been a little better in Chicago (NBA pre-draft camp), he wouldn't be here. He's a pro. There's a reason he was in Chicago. Guys that athletic and guys that long usually aren't three-point shooters. But there's no area he's not good at.
attitude hard love missed weight workout
Every workout we've had D.J. has been there. He hasn't missed one thing. And he's been great. I love his attitude and his work ethic. He's working hard in the weight room, and he's working hard on the court.
analyze emphasize forward rather rebounds sit step tonight took type
Tonight we took a step forward and you have to look at the positives. I'm not the type to sit around and analyze what we don't have. I'd rather emphasize what we do have. I emphasize rebounds with our guards.
bit tonight turned
Tonight was a little bit of an ambush. I just didn't see this one coming. If we can't find a way to get this turned around, we're probably going to have just one more game.
dice roll
We just had to roll the dice and keep Terrell in there.
boards extra gave happen kicked
We just gave them too many extra possessions. They kicked out butts on the boards and that doesn't happen very often.
carolina depends front last national north won
When North Carolina won the national championship last year, they had a lot of two-year players. You get them at the front end or back end. It just depends on how you want to look at it.
team
(My) team could get a lot better, though, and that's what's exciting.
aaron breakout game lead together wish
I wish he'd already had that breakout game because you know it's coming. They're going to put it together soon, and Aaron is going to lead them.
ask great recruiting
When you ask how is recruiting going, I think it's going great because we're going to keep D.J.. To me, he was the most important recruit.
start
I see this as something like a snowball. Get it rolling, and it's got to start somewhere.
court left oklahoma remember
I've been at Oklahoma for 12 years, but I don't remember many times that I've left the court where I was embarrassed as I was tonight.
great job running second
The second half, we did a great job of running our stuff. We had great movement, we set great screens.
