Aaron had a very busy summer, and that's something a lot of coaches fear. I don't know if that has something to do with it. Sometimes international experience can wear on you. |
At least this game, we were in it. They had the cushion in the second half, but it wasn't a 30-point game. I was pleased with how we competed for 40 minutes. |
Curtis came in with a Big 12 body. It's tough for people to overpower him. He's very good offensively, but we're really proud of the way he's progressed defensively. |
Dang, that layoff wasn't that bad. But the adrenaline wore off a little bit and you have to play in games to get used to game situations. |
Even if you're in an empty gym, it's hard to make the 13 shots he did. |
He hit the big 3, a contested 3. In games like this, it comes down to who makes the big shot. He hit a big shot. |
He just lightens up a room with that smile. |
He's just a winner. He is one of those guys who just hates to lose. |
I don't know if we have anyone who can guard him. Jones has always been good in the lane, but now he can step out and hit jump shots. |
I hope no one has to endure a season like we had to endure because it's a lot tougher than people would ever realize. |
I just hope it's a situation that no one else ever has to go through. |
I know from a coaching standpoint, like proud parents, it's great to see the little growth during the season. |
I thought we had that one. |
I was probably more excited for this game even than the Texas Tech game because of the crowd, energy and excitement. |
I was so pleased we won, because it was the only time I think we were able to win on senior night. At the same time, anytime you can beat a coach Knight team, there's always an added sense of pleasure, because you're competing against and beating the best of all-time. I think you get more satisfaction out of it, because of how successful Knight's been and all the games he's won. |
