It's much different from practice. You don't really know what it's like until you get out there in front of thousands of people, the speed and the intensity.

They've got so many weapons at each position. Last game, Daniel Gibson hit us for 37 points and the inside guys were probably upset with their performance. We knew the big guys would probably have something to prove in this game, and we were right.

Last game, Daniel Gibson hit us for some 30-something points. The rest of them guys, they had something to prove.

I came out and knocked down my first couple shots and from then on every shot felt good. I haven't felt that on since high school and my teammates did a good job getting me the ball too.

The game was so much fun for us. We were growing tired of using the fact that we hadn't played any non-conferences as an excuse and we realized we could compete in the Big 12 every night if we play that type of game.

We got down by a large margin pretty early on the road. It's kind of hard to get back in the game.
