basketball good
I still think we should be a good basketball team.

(Kelvin) lost some games when he didn't have his whole team there. Coming in (to the season) they were like us, a team that was up there. And they're a good basketball team.

Kansas may be the hottest team in the country right now. I think they're a Top 10 team. On any given night, Kansas can beat any team in the country.

J.J. was terrific. He got comfortable and whether we allowed him to or not, he got going and they understand to get the ball in his hands.

We have one game left. If we're good enough to win the league, we'll win it.

Our defense was outstanding again. That has been the difference in our team.

Our defense was good. Any time a team shoots 32 percent against you, you feel pretty good about it.
ball passes team turn veteran
Some of our passes were ridiculous. To turn the ball over as many times as we did and win, we were fortunate. They're an older, veteran team in midseason form.

When the game was in doubt, they made plays and we didn't.
