Those type of numbers that I was seeing, I’ve never seen that. I don’t come from a family where money is a big deal, so my thing is how can you miss something you never had? (O’Colly)

I think a lot of you are getting a glimpse of why these guys are wanting to come back. This is something you just don’t get every day. This is not something you get as a part of your life all the time — to be a part of a team that’s as close as this and has had as much fun as these guys have. (O’Colly)

I think it’s time for us to win (the Big 12). We have been working hard and I think it’s time for it to pay off. (O’Colly)

It’s no secret we don’t like each other. (OU) is our rivals; we hate them. Right now we are focused on OU. After we beat OU, we’ll focus on Kansas. (O’Colly)

They’ve got different pieces and you’ve got to guard all them. And it’s hard trying to cover up everybody, their whole team. They can play. That’s why they’re the best team in the conference. (NewsOK)

It is so easy to stay home and watch. And, if the game is bad, I can turn it off. (Tulsa World)

I’ve said this for a few years, and I’m not just trying to blow us up or pump my own tires up. We take a two-star and make him a three, a three and make him a four and a four and make him a five. We really believe that’s what we do. (NewsOK)

You have a (6-4) guard that is a man playing against boys. Let’s just put it how it is. That’s what it is, and he kicked our butt. He is good, and we knew it. We didn’t compete for loose balls and felt sorry for ourselves and acted like little babies.

We have showed (the ability to make the tournament) at times, other times we don’t. From here on out, we have to play like an NCAA (tournament) team. (O’Colly)

You can’t look at all the road losses, every game is an individual game. It’s not the whole; every game is an individual game.

It’s a reminder of what he did for our rights and giving us the opportunity to go to schools like this, just to have the same equal rights. That means a lot to me. So it’s incredible, just for two schools to be going at it on a significant day like that, it just adds to how significant a game it’s going to be and how big a game it’s going to be

There’s some kind of spell on us.
