Jeff Capel Quotations

I find it comical when people talk about them struggling. They're 13-4 and 6-1 - a lot of teams would like to struggle and be that. They're an outstanding basketball team.

I thought Alexander Harper was tremendous for us. He made tough plays.

I think we're close to resolving this issue. I think we're going to be able to come to a resolution without going to court and probably short of mediation.

Our guys have to become a little bit more mature, a little more serious about things. We have to understand it's 40 minutes. It's not 32, it's not 35, it's not 28. It's 40 minutes, and we have to play that way the whole time.

Our full-court pressure bothered them. We didn't get many turnovers (W&M had 10 for the game), but we contested most of their shots. We went away from the pressure at the start of the second half and then had to go back to it.

Regardless of whether we develop something in the post, we're going to be a good team. We're going to be just fine. We're going to continue to get better as a basketball team, individually and collectively.

We haven't rebounded well, with the exception of the first two games, all year. Guys have to make a conscious effort to get in there and be hungry for the basketball.

The only advantage for the Bells to go to court would be if they are looking to fold their operation and want someone to blame. I have no reason to think that's the case here.

We came out and I thought we were ready to play. After that 17-3 lead, we made some substitutions and our energy level completely dropped. We were gambling too much defensively, which allowed them to get some easy baskets.

I've never bought into the theory of you have to have a ton of experience to get it done.

The name of the game in tournament play is survive and advance. It doesn't matter how you do it. We were very fortunate to win. William and Mary was great. I feel bad that they had to lose, but we were able to make some plays down the stretch.

As crazy as it is, with only 2.6 seconds left, we had a chance. We got a great look. Nick had an outstanding shot but just missed it.

They extended their defense out to us. They made it difficult for us to get good looks.

It's always been our intention to work things out. The lawsuit was kind of a distraction from what I think everybody has always wanted.

In everything we do we're going to strive to be excellent, in the community, in the classroom and on the court. I really feel this is a place, the University of Oklahoma, where you can win the whole thing.

In everything we do we're going to strive to be excellent, in the classroom, in our community and on the court.

How about Eric Maynor? We just put the ball in his hands, and he made big plays.
