We clicked instantly. It’s just natural for us to hang out together, on and off the court.

He’s talented, a great person, and he wants to help us win,

We have become a team. Everyone is ready to work and make sacrifices. We were able to bounce back from when we were 1-2 (at the start of the season, then again in conference play)....

He just keeps dancing, … And he still has no moves.

We had our struggles. But look at us now.

Sometimes, great players don’t want to pass the ball. He passes the ball and fits right in as another great player on this team.

That’s one thing we try to do. Obviously, every team wants to get easy baskets. We try to just build on every other teams mistakes and try to get easy baskets.

We’re taking better shots at this point in the season. Everyone is understanding where they need to be on the floor without the ball. We’re just trying to learn as we go and adjust as...

He referred to what happened here before, two years ago. We just wanted to win another big-league game.

The way they played took the aggression out of us. But after this, we know what we have to do in a big game like this.

I just had to get over the hump. Once I did that, fatigue wasn’t a factor. I mean, maybe I’m tired, but I’m not feeling it.

It was rough. When the shots went up, it was football out there. We just tried to dig down and get stops at the end.

Regardless of how your body is feeling, you have to stay focused. Coach Self keeps us focused. We keep getting better. That’s one thing, I think, the freshmen have done throughout the season.

We’re ready for anything. We’ll be ready for Texas.

It’s plain to see that coach (Bill Self) stresses so much defense and details.

There’s no excuse for what happened. As a team, our focus just wasn’t there.

That’s about how long it took me to get going.

Coach talked to us at halftime about when you think about it, one play in a big game, one mental mistake, can cost us. So many of us are so hungry for playing time, we...

He cannot dance. Mario has no moves. He can dance on the court but not off of it.

This is a young conference as a whole. In the future, there’s a lot of parody now, but I see us as only a year a way from being a super powerhouse conference like the...

We understand their situation coming here. We did a lot of stuff for Hurricane Katrina relief during football season. Our fans are classy. They will show their support. It will be a great atmosphere Thursday.

The guards were doing a great job of getting to the paint and passing it to me, and I just made the extra pass.

I can’t imagine. How many Big 12 games are there?
