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 standing pretty close, but it's not going to change anything. I told them regardless of how you feel right now, there's nothing that I could say or anybody could say that is going to change the outcome. Just know that you made a lot of people proud tonight with your effort.
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 have great admiration for my father. We are proud of the courage he has exhibited this evening, and our family stands behind him and will support him through these tough days.
I'm very proud of our players under the circumstances they were faced with today. They kept a positive mind-set throughout the day and I thought they played with a lot of energy.
