That first half, we got on them pretty good. Our athleticism, our quickness bothered them. To create that many turnovers in one half is impressive. |
That is a pretty amazing way to drop that game today. It's just really unfortunate. You've got to make an offensive play; you've got to be able to get the ball down court; you've got to be able to stop somebody. |
That said, I didn't inherit those kinds of guys at Kansas State. We've have different challenges. Some have been similar, but we've had different challenges. |
That was the most embarrassing effort I've ever been associated with as a college basketball player or coach. We had no answer for them in any shape or form. |

That's been interesting hasn't it. We've been able to see this is a pretty good team, with a shot at doing some things and playing good basketball. The game Saturday, we didn't play well, and that topic came up. |
The key is, let's sustain our effort. If we don't, we won't have much of a shot. That will be the quest. |
The offense dried up on us. We didn't make enough plays. I thought we were getting the ball where we wanted to get it, but today, Texas Tech was too much for us. |
The offense just dried up on us. Then we couldn't get a stop without fouling them. I thought we could have defended better, but today Texas Tech was too much for us. |
There's not been this doom and gloom over the top of our heads. I think our team has been supported well by our base of fans out there. I just don't feel bad about what we're doing right now. The topic your talking about remains and has been dormant. It's just not something we concentrate on. |
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. |
They're just very, very strong. I know (Sunday) was probably disappointing for them, but just looking at them on paper and the consistency they've played with throughout Big 12 play, they just don't have a lot of chinks in the armor. |
They're knuckleballs, but you watch the ball in flight, and you just thought they were going in. I thought it. You probably thought it. |
We could never shake them because we did some bizarre things. |
We had our shot and we needed a play or two here or there. I think I have a good basketball team. I wish we could have made a couple more plays ... I think we are really close. |
