Oklahoma Sooners Basketball 63 - Texas Longhorns 60 | Post Game Quotes

"Tonight was a hard battle. We were fighting uphill all night, and credit Texas, they got off to a good start and played really well. They made it tough on us on the offensive end. But I'm proud of our guys for hanging in there. It wasn't a thing of beauty by any means, but our guys kept battling and kept working. We made enough shots to get back within range midway in the second half, couldn't quite get over the hump, but we made some good stops defensively. Overall I'm proud of our guys. It was a tough win." - Lon Kruger on the game in general

"He's a terrific player. There's a reason he's the best player in the country. I thought our guys, for most of the game, did a really good job on him, given how good of a player he is.
