BAYLOR POSTGAME QUOTES

Baylor Head Coach Scott Drew
Opening statementÃÆ'Æ'à € ' ¢ÃƒÆ'Æ' ¢' ¬ ¦
"That is how senior night is supposed to look. We played well on both ends of the floor. Holding OU to 19 points in the first half is huge, especially when last time we played, Trae Young scored around 19 in the first half. I'm just glad our seniors got to go out with a win."

On the production of the five seniors tonightÃÆ'Æ'à € ' ¢ÃƒÆ'Æ' ¢' ¬ ¦
"They had 67 combined points. I want our guys to do that every time we touch the floor. I'm just glad we were able to go out and get a win tonight."

On the key to the defensive successÃÆ'Æ'à € ' ¢ÃƒÆ'Æ' ¢' ¬ ¦
"We were real active, and we caused them to turn it over 17 times. They also had some good looks that they missed and they were unable to convert some free throws early on. That doesn't relate to the defense. When you miss one or two and the defense starts getting in a groove it makes it difficult for shots to fall."

Senior Manu Lecomte
On the early foul troubleÃÆ'Æ'à € ' ¢ÃƒÆ'Æ' ¢' ¬ ¦
"We had to be careful on defense, early on we picked up too many fouls. I know in the second half we let them score more than the first half, but overall tonight the defense was the highlight. Our offense was great, but we really played great on defense."

On if this is how he envisioned his last game at the Ferrell CenterÃÆ'Æ'à € ' ¢ÃƒÆ'Æ' ¢' ¬ ¦
"Yeah, everything that Jo [Lual-Acuil Jr.] said. The seniors had to lead. It has been a great year and a tough year. It was really awesome to be able to win our last game here at the Ferrell."

Senior Jo Lual-Acuil Jr.
On the success on senior nightÃÆ'Æ'à € ' ¢ÃƒÆ'Æ' ¢' ¬ ¦
"After shoot-around all five seniors stayed back in the locker room and we all discussed what we needed to do to get this win tonight. It was really positive and we all had a great time tonight and we got to lead as a group and allow the team to play together."

On how the run to open it up 31-12 gave the team momentumÃÆ'Æ'à € ' ¢ÃƒÆ'Æ' ¢' ¬ ¦
"We played really good on defense. We held them to around 20 percent shooting in the half. We played excellent transition offense and I think it really played into our favor throughout the game."

Senior Terry Maston
On if the offense has changed to more of an inside-out teamÃÆ'Æ'à € ' ¢ÃƒÆ'Æ' ¢' ¬ ¦
"I think we are even all around. We have really good three-point shooters and we have some guys who score really well in the post. We try to start every game going down inside, and once we get the defense to start collapsing, we kick it out to our shooters and let them knock shots down."

OKLAHOMA POSTGAME QUOTES

Oklahoma Head Coach Lon Kruger
Opening statementÃÆ'Æ'à € ' ¢ÃƒÆ'Æ' ¢' ¬ ¦
"Clearly Baylor played harder from the start and that's something we don't feel good about. Baylor was sharp. Give them credit but we have to respond better than we did."

On the rebounding throughout the gameÃÆ'Æ'à € ' ¢ÃƒÆ'Æ' ¢' ¬ ¦
"Every phase was poor. We had some looks that didn't fall and some shots by the rim that didn't go. The loose balls and rebounds, it was clear that Baylor dominated those areas."

On missing shotsÃÆ'Æ'à € ' ¢ÃƒÆ'Æ' ¢' ¬ ¦
"We had trouble making free throws early. It just seemed that we were out of sync from the start. Baylor is long and athletic and they were able to close out on shooters."

On Baylor's defenseÃÆ'Æ'à € ' ¢ÃƒÆ'Æ' ¢' ¬ ¦
"If the team doesn't shoot it well then you have to credit the defense. But from my perspective we have to knock down some shots at well."

On Baylor's play insideÃÆ'Æ'à € ' ¢ÃƒÆ'Æ' ¢' ¬ ¦
"Baylor is really good down there. They have been pounding the ball down there, and with their post play, we had to defend that better than we did."
