We know this is a big game for us. And we know they (KSU) always play us tough. We need to be ready for this one.

(The Owls) are a scrappy team. We're going to have to come out and play.

I have to play really well every game. I think that's how I lead. I don't necessarily yell at people. I try to set an example. Most of our plays are all hand signals.

Tonight we felt like we did what we needed to do for us to win. We wanted them to be the ones that made the mistakes.

I feel I've been struggling lately. It felt good to go out there and hit my spots and keep us in the game.

We know we weren't going to be able to push them out because they have so much size on us, so it was just a matter of beating them to the spot where they wanted to go and trying to take charges.
