It's to show I remember him. I'm playing for him. |
James Thomas was a tough dude, but P.J. took on that challenge head on. James was one guy you didn't mess with, but P.J. took him on. |
Jones was a load down low. He is so physical that we had to bang with him and do anything we could to keep him away from the basket. |
Kenton and I went to a Final Four as freshmen, and now we have a Big 12 championship. We have to approach every remaining game like we did tonight and see if we can get back to the Final Four. |
Look, it's a long season and we had a young team and guys get tired at times. But we've played well lately. Our guys aren't settling. Our goal is to win the national championship. |
My performance would have felt a lot better if we had gotten a 'W'. It's never great when you don't win. |
Nine times out of 10, I'd give P.J. the ball. |
Nine times out of 10, I'd give P.J. the ball. He's shown he can get the job done. There's no way I'd pick anybody else. (A&M) is a big deal, but the guy has meant so much to the program. He's an incredible player. |
P.J. used to get on guys pretty hard in practice for making a mistake, and he'd kind of leave them there to stew about it. Now, he gets on them but also helps teach them how to correct the mistake. |
Sometimes it's fun. Sometimes it's painful. But you can always find a joke in it. |
Stopping the 3-pointer was definitely a key to us winning the game. |
Texas basketball is on the map. |
That was a big shot. We really needed that. It gave us back the momentum that they had just took. |
That's the toughest environment I've ever been in for college basketball. To see that many people in that environment so quiet, it was priceless. |
The environment was incredible in San Antonio. We're excited to be back in Dallas, and expect to have a fun crowd. |
