I believe the ACC and Big 12 are definitely two of the best conferences in the country anywhere, night in and night out.

I think all these guys have a chance to play. I think that was part of the attractiveness of CU, part of the reason they chose CU, because they could step in and contribute.

I think I'm playing too many guys. I need to find a rotation that will play physical in a physical league.

He's put together some nice games. . . . He's coming into his own. More importantly, he had seven rebounds and six steals (against Oklahoma State). . . . That speaks to his defense as much as anything. He's adding some other dimensions to his game.

Kansas did an excellent job of pushing the ball up the floor. The difference in their break and most other teams' is that their big guys really run the floor. So we gave up too many fast-break points and were dominated on the glass.

It's encouraging to hear him say those things. I know he is working hard to build community support for the department.

He had to learn how hard he has to work to keep his spot. He's put together a good month of practice and has become what we thought when we brought him in here.

I don't think you can give any good team a steady diet of one defense. I think you have to change defenses and maybe slow the game down a little bit, or get teams off-balance a little bit. I think that's why you're seeing it.

We signed these kids early so this is not an evaluation. We're just here for support.
