That kid would run through a wall if you asked him to,

That was a mistake that we made. There really is no excuse. . . . I don't know that as a staff we took that rule seriously enough. I think if you look back at the compliance of our programs over the last 19 years as a major college head coach, we've never had an issue with NCAA rules, nor will we again.

That was an important game for a lot of reasons. I kept telling (Everett) that he was one good game away from breaking out.
|
That would probably help. I think P.J. is probably going to class now.

The defenses they play, they play very well.

The first thing I want to do is congratulate Jim Wooldridge and his players. They won at Kansas, they were good enough to beat Texas and they were good enough to beat Oklahoma.

The important thing in all of these situations is that the player is happy. If this is what he thinks is the best thing for him, then I wish him the best.

The Kansas game was one that we felt like we should have won. Tonight was one that we probably shouldn't have. It's amazing how that stuff balances out, isn't it? But I have to tip my hat to our kids' will to win.

The last thing I told Terrell, don't shoot a jump shot. We felt like if we got to the rim and made them help out [on defense] we had a chance to score twice.

The problem with being ranked so high comes if you don't play up to expectations. But we never had our guys. We were always saying what would happen if we could ever get them back. We expected to be a good team, but we weren't the only team to go through some injuries.
|
The second half, we did a great job of running our stuff. We had great movement, we set great screens.
|
The strength of the team is up front now. But we don't have a guy who you know can give you points when the going gets tough.
|
There was no way we were leaving the country without P.J. Tucker.
|
There's a reason why we won the league last year - these two guys here and the way they played. This is the first time all year that these guys played the same way.
|
These kids will bounce back. It's not like we're 8-20. We're 20-8.
