Baylor quotes:

Head Coach Dave Bliss:
(on the game)
"I thought the critical period was the last couple of minutes of the first half??? Our bench is not capable of doing what theirs can do.???

"Kansas is a good defensive team. Nothing came easy out there tonight. They're a fine team, one of several we've played against.???

"We weren't able to build a lead with excitement. We didn't handle the ball well; their defense was very good today.???

Sophomore guard John Lucas:
(on the game)
"We played good until the last few minutes of the first half. I put the blame on myself. Their offense was very fast. We broke down because of turnovers.???

Junior guard Matt Sayman:
(on KU guard Kirk Hinrich)
"Hinrich is a great player. He's fast and smart.???

(on the game)
"We tried hard tonight, but it just wasn't enough.???

Kansas quotes:

Head Coach Roy Williams:
(on the game)
"Our defense was sloppy in the first half, and turnovers killed us. But in the second half, we were able to force bad shots, and that turned around the game.???

(on Nick Collison)
"I think he's a heck of a player. We don't shoot a lot of threes as a team; that's why we have a good big man. We get the ball to him as much as possible so he can make something happen.???

(on the team)
"We have bounced back very nicely after two losses, and I've been very proud of the focus of the team. We've played really good defense the last two games.???

Sophomore guard Keith Langford:
(on the game)
"It seemed the atmosphere was down here. A couple of the guys were here two years ago, and they wanted to get back at them.???

"Once we started challenging their defense, we had open shots and made them.???

(on his season)
"The more minutes I get, the better I feel about my game.???
