Best he could say to congratulate us (as all coaches do to their opponents in praise when they start their opening statements) was that we made a few more plays than they did. His whole theme was that TX should have won (if it were not for the free throws missed) and that our 3 point shooting was terrible. In fact he kept repeating that if they had a rematch TX would win. Likes to hear himself talk. And spare me the comments about how the Big 12 is so great. SO glad we won!
Guys, it was a crushing, season-ending defeat for Texas. Let's not expect them to also say "all the right things" for our pleasure. And I don't visit opposing team fan boards, but I'd bet good $$ that Longhorn Nation is up in arms over the number of whistles during the game (and it was a very high number . . . and could have been higher).
And if you're looking for criticism of sportsmanship, how about Stanford players NOT getting into post-game handshake line? That did disappoint me. You can celebrate at half-court (or celebrate again) after you go through the line. No need to blow off the handshake line (and that's what looked like happened from the TV feed).
