Brandon Rush Team Quotations

I think it's great. We did get off to a bad start, but we showed some toughness by winning 12 of our last 13 games. We are a young team and not many people expected much out of us. We just try to go out there and play hard every day, and it paid off in the end.

We finally proved to people that we can win tough games. We wanted to prove we were the best team in the Big 12.

We all came in being this and that. But we don't have egos. We want to be a team. We knew we had to be something special for this team to do something, but we knew we had to do it together. I think we've done that.

There's a debate out there about who the best team in the conference is. This team is trying to prove it's us.

It's a debate out there as to who's the best team in the conference. It's time to settle who that is. We're ready for it. It's going to be pretty exciting. This time it's going to be on neutral ground so it'll be a lot more even.
