Sean Sutton Good Quotations

Obviously I'm very proud of our players. We needed that. Oklahoma State needed that. I kept telling them all week long that if they would work hard and listen, then good things would happen and they would be rewarded.

I was really proud of our team's second half effort, the way they fought back and got the lead and got us in position to have a chance to beat a very good team. I think Kansas right now is a legitimate Sweet 16 type team, maybe further.

I think they're well aware of how many wins they need for that to occur. I think they're motivated by that. But they also want to play good basketball. I know (the 800 wins) are important to them and it's a goal to get them to that.

We got off to a great start. That seems to be important with this team. When we get off to a good start, most of the time, we play pretty well.

When you play Iowa State, you can't turn it over a lot. We had 18 turnovers but we had 22 assists. I thought that was a big factor, that we passed the ball pretty well all night long and got pretty good open looks and pretty easy shots.

They did a good job mixing up the zone defense, and there was a lot of confusion on our part early on.
