It is so fortunate to have two great guards (Blalock and Stinson) playing together, |
It means the world to me. These guys know I love them. And I know they love me. I know it breaks their heart, but we have to go on ? it's done. |
It was two competitive teams. It ended up OK. Nobody got hurt; nobody got thrown out of the game. You have a bunch of kids that are highly competitive. |
It wasn't our offense that hurt us, it was our defense. They had guys that could shoot the ball. We were supposed to make them bounce the ball first, and we didn't do that. We came out with a hand up, and that's not good enough. |
It's another season. We're looking forward to trying to go to the Big 12 Tournament and really play as hard as we can and see what happens. |
It's based on me watching the game, looking at my kids and feeling this guy can help or that guy can help. |
It's one of those games where whoever loses is miserable and whoever wins is happy they survived. |
It's really courageous and admirable that Curtis played and did what he did. She's the closest person in his life. |
It's very nice to win a home game. Anytime we get a triple-double and two double-doubles, we've got a chance to win. |
Maybe he's made a mistake; we all make mistakes in this life, but if you look at his accomplishments as a basketball coach and his contributions to the game of college basketball, I don't think there's any question he should be in the Hall of Fame. |
My guys, in a difficult environment, never gave up. They continued to fight the whole time, and if we can do that, then hopefully down the road, we'll like the result of that type of effort. |
Nebraska has started doing what we do. They've started pressing people, then dropping back into a 2-3 zone, which I find interesting. I don't have a copyright for that. |
Obviously we are disappointed we did not qualify for postseason play. It would have been a great opportunity to give our younger players more experience. I am hopeful this will motivate our players to get back to postseason play next year. |
Obviously we're not pleased where we (finished), but we're going to continue to work to try and change that. I don't know if we can say we should expect to be in the NCAA Tournament every year, but it's obviously the goal. |
Of course I was blindsided. I didn't expect to be terminated. When was the last time you heard someone get to the NIT final four in his first year, the second round of the NCAA Tournament his second year, [average] 18 wins a year and get terminated? |
