Bill Self Against Quotations

If we play like that against a Big 12 team on the road, you're going to get beat. There are 10 wasted opportunities a game. If we can't get our wasted possessions to three or four, then we don't need to run like that. We need to execute better, keep our turnovers down.

Halfway through the second half, (the Raiders) were physically tired because we were able to throw a lot of bodies at them. We benefited from a travel day for them and them playing 45 minutes against Oklahoma State (on Saturday).

I saw men playing against some guys that weren't quite as old.

I thought there were some men playing against guys who were not as old tonight.

We can't play like this against any league team, even at home, or we'll lose.

To win a game like that against a quality opponent like that when you don't play well should give us a lot of confidence.

Teams learn how to win when they're not playing well and this team did that against Oklahoma. It's a maturation process with this team, but I think the guys really grew up in that game. Teams have to learn how to win ugly sometimes and we certainly did that. I couldn't be more proud of them.

That's one of the negatives of playing the game that butts up against the selection show.
