answer best guards iowa single state team
We had no answer for Blalock and Stinson. Iowa State has the two best guards on a single team in the Big 12.
avoided game good great played week win
We played tough, we played with great determination. This was a very important game for us. Not just because we avoided going 0-3 (in the Big 12), but it is good to win and then have a week off to practice.
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.
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.
clock good shot sign
We had them at the end of the shot clock a lot tonight, but Jackson, he just made big plays. That's the sign of a good player.
good
We weren't as good as them for 38 minutes, but we were for 40.
happy hard lose won
We were happy we won those games, but you could just tell that we didn't have our edge. When you lose your edge, it's hard to get back.
crowd handle hard last played time
We couldn't have played any better for 34 minutes. We had the crowd out of the game. It's disappointing. This one is hard to handle because I thought we outplayed them for a long time and they outplayed us the last 6 minutes.
chance finish higher team trying
We're all trying to get that one little thing to get us going. Whichever team does that has a chance to finish higher in the standings.
bags couple sand
We had a couple of sand bags in the dike, but it's just embarrassing. I don't know what else to say.
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.
dice roll
We just had to roll the dice and keep Terrell in there.
attribute good great kids playing win
We're playing good enough to win, and that's a great attribute to have. Our kids know how to win games.
free lose miss three throws
You look up and we're up 10, we miss a 1-and-1, we miss three free throws and it's like 'How do you lose a lead?
