Bill Self Guy Quotations

He's a good on-the-ball defender, loose-ball guy and forces help offensively. Now that he's not worried about making shots, he's shooting better. He's playing really well.

He deserves it. If you're going to tie for the championship, I think you have to have one guy up there. Brandon certainly played at a level deserving of that.

He deserves it. If you're going to tie for the championship, you at least would have to get one guy up there, you would think.

He's a very versatile guy. Before he leaves KU, he'll be a guy who plays three positions.

That was big because people forget that Young was the guy who really hurt us in Columbia with 14 points and six offensive rebounds. I thought that (Kaun) played great post defense, and C.J., too.

We still don't have a guy we consider to be a go-to guy, and that's going to make it tough. We've got to be a team that's balanced, but it sure would be nice if we knew who to try to get stuff for from a daily standpoint, as opposed to maybe who has a hot hand that particular moment.

The tournament loss was obviously very disappointing. But I think this team can get a lot better. With another piece or two, this team could become great. We could probably use another big guy and a perimeter shooter. The good thing is these guys have a chance to come back next year and try to make amends as much as we can.

There's not a guy being recruited into the Big 12 that probably wasn't the No. 1 guy on their high school team, for the most part. I think what you'll find out is, what I hope I find out, is these guys in a short amount of time after they get here have been humbled. That they know not everything revolves around 'me.' I think they'll relish the fact there's balance. Because with balance comes more opportunities for the individual.

The fans storm the court with no hesitation after the final horn. All it takes is one fan to (run into) a guy to cause an incident.

You've got a guy chasing the all-time win record, and you'd think you'd want to be there to say you were a part of it.

We want to play Mario, but obviously Stephen was the guy tonight. I can see this being a constant for a large part of the season until everybody gets totally comfortable. I don't think that's happened yet.
