Roy Williams - "I was discouraged when we went into the locker room, but I was confident the second half we'd show up and play. There weren't any hell-fire and brimstone or win-one-for-the-Gipper style speeches. I didn't kick over any trash cans; I was really calm. We have an intelligent team and they have the ability to make adjustments and adapt to what we tell them in the locker room. "Today was one of those days when the outside shot just doesn't go in. I thought we did a good job, especially in the seocnd half of getting the ball inside. Raef played aggressively, and he got his way to the foul line. And at the same time, everybody was more aggressive trying to work the ball inside. "For the first eight minutes of the second half, we played in a defensive frenzy. During the TV timeout, I told our guys that that's how we're supposed to play defense. That's as fine of defense as we've played all year." KSU coach Tom Asbury - "(Kansas) did a great job in the second half. They took us out of what we wanted to do offensively. What really hurt us was the rebounds. I have to give them credit, because they work the boards very well. They are a very, very good defensive team. They are not the #3 team in the nation for nothing. "I thought our defense was adequate and our offense was so-so. We didn't do a lot of things that any other teams haven't with Kansas. We stuck with them through the first half, which is as good as most teams have done."
