The Oklahoma Sooners, impressive, good win,
95-72 as they will advance on in the NCAA tournament.
But you know, guys, that this game's
not going to define this team.
I hate it for our fans.
You can't take the pain away from a loss like this.
But I hope the Rebel Nation understands
where this problem was one year ago
and where it is now and where it's going to go in the future.
And these young guys are going
to get a chance to come back here and redeem themselves.
You know today at this point, I like where our team is.
We're obviously compared to last year's team,
I was very proud of that team,
we're deep, we're more athletic,
probably have more of a look like an SEC team.
We are young in some areas, but experienced in others.
And so excited about the chance of getting going today.
Make sure we rotate from station to station or jog.
Everybody good?
Yes Sir.
[dramatic music]
We've changed as a program from this time last year.
Just our maturity level,
our maturity level in the classroom,
our maturity level, just the way we go about
our business day-to-day-to-day.
And I think the expectations of what we expect every day.
And that's gotten better.
We're not close to where we need to be.
We got a lot of work ahead of us.
Competition, you know, fans get to see it in games.
Where coaches really appreciate it at practice
because that's where your team grows
and then it grows also when a guy knows he's got
to give his very, very best effort
because there's a guy right behind him
that you can hopefully put in to a game
and your team can keep improving.
I know a lot of people think we snuck up
on a lot of people, but no.
We played the game just like everybody else did
and we went on a 10-game win streak early on in the season.
You know, I think we proved ourselves already
and I'm not really worried about
anybody coming at us any harder
or us going at anybody else any harder.
We're just gonna play our game and work on what we do and
the rest will do, you know, work out for itself.
[determined music]
There you go, man.
[cheers]
I'm back, I'm back, I'm back.
Good, right there, good.
Next group, next group, here we go, next group.
Strong man, low is strong, low is strong.
You seen it?
It's a bucket, that's how you shoot it.
It's a six.
It's all great, especially be with my right-hand man.
We're back to work, everyday.
First day was a good day.
We got a long way to go.
A lot of young guys got a lot to learn.
Stay with it, stay with it, Shawn.
Good, ah, nice effort.
Good effort, good effort, good effort, good.
Rebound, grab it, grab it.
Down and move, down and move.
Sprint, sprint.
[cheers]
Cut, cut, cut, check him, check him, check him.
Good, nice pass, KJ.
Good effort, good effort. Good effort, Shawn.
Shawn, good effort.
Great effort, good effort, good effort.
Good, good, good.
We lead as a team, you know what I'm saying?
The only thing we ain't liking right now, cramping up.
November what, 8th, 10th?
Whenever the first game is, y'all better be here.
See you there.
All day, all year.
