I thought we had them at that point, but they kept making shots.
More Quotes from Mark Turgeon:
It's not a hump, it's a mountain. My AD knows. My fans know where we were when I took this job. My first year, we lost 11 in a row and I didn't know if we were ever going to win a game. My third year we were 3-3, and I wasn't sure I would keep my job. We lost at home to Kansas State and ever since then it has been a tremendous run to get where we are today. We accomplished something we haven't in 23 years, we won a championship.Mark Turgeon
Kids handle discipline different ways. Some get embarrassed. Some get mad. You just hope in the end they all use it the right way, and I think they will. I think the only way to get through to players today is playing time. It used to be running them, getting them out of bed and running them. Playing time, today, is really the answer. Hopefully, we won't have this again.

If you look over the (statistic) sheets of our last few games, it's been that way. We've worked on it all year, trying to get them to pass the ball and use each other. They really did that well tonight. This was a great team game.

I felt like if we could keep pressure on them and make them shoot jump shots.

I couldn't get them under control in the first half. I just couldn't. They thought if they made a shot it would count as nine points.

If you could have been at our practice the other day, the pressure is off. We had our best practice we've had in months. We carried that 23-year wait around with us. No matter what happens, if we go and lose in the first round and don't make the NCAA Tournament, you can't take that league championship away from us.
