Baylor Head Coach Scott Drew
Opening statement:
"Oklahoma really played well, especially in the first half and by the time we got back into it it was obviously too late. They just made shots. The encouraging thing for us is that we had some looks that we don't normally have, but again, they played extremely well. Blake (Griffin) continues to show why he is the best player in the country."
On Baylor's defensive play: "Whether it be man or zone, they are good in transition. They were able to get some easy buckets early on and we have to get better in transition."
On Oklahoma doing things differently on offense: "They got more transition buckets than we anticipated. They are usually a half-court team and we didn't think that would be as big of a problem as it was. Again, I just think they just got some shots early and too often."
Baylor Senior Guard Curtis Jerrells On defending Oklahoma: "They were able to make plays. They were able to get open and they got a lot of early shots."
On what Baylor did offensively: "We got to the paint. As far as the guards, we just tried to get to the rim. Again, we usually try to get back in transition; you know, make layups or get rebounds."
On guarding the Griffin brothers: "It was very difficult. They give people trouble night in and night out. You have to come up with something to keep them from taking control of the game."
