K-State's Jerome Tang on the keys to a win: "I want to see transition defense and rebounding, those two things that we worked on, transition, offensive and defensive rebounding, and then setting our defense in the half court, and being able to guard guys. You know, 18:50 to go in the game, it's an 8 point game at Texas, and Texas is a really good team, so we don't take anybody lightly, we have to keep getting better and they're gonna come, they're coming in to try and get a win, and we have to bring the fight to them."
