“Oklahoma lost a lot from last year but still has a lot. Neither team knows what it has until the ballgame is over.”
Gary Patterson
“Teams learn how to win when they're not playing well and this team did that against Oklahoma. It's a maturation process with this team, but I think the guys really grew up in that game. Teams have to learn how to win ugly sometimes and we certainly did that. I couldn't be more proud of them.”
Bill Self
“We're not intimidated coming in. We're not playing against Oklahoma and their tradition. We're playing against the Oklahoma team in 2005, and we're ready to get the job done.”
Aaron Gipson
“If Oklahoma loses, it's a major upset. There hasn't been a team that's been such a prohibitive favorite.”
Bill Fennelly
“This is the first of my 12 teams at Oklahoma that have practiced harder than they played. They practiced and competed hard this week. But come game time they didn't play as hard as they should have.”
Kelvin Sampson
“The main thing for the team is to get to Oklahoma City for the Big 12 tournament. We need to take small steps, and improve each week.”
Brad Hutt
“I think Oklahoma State has a great team, and they've had a great run. (The Big 12 championships) have always been a tough tournament, and a lot of the national champions come out of this tournament. I don't think this year will be any different.”
