QUOTABLE:
?I think the first part of the season, our weaknesses could be hidden. Those aren't usually exposed until you hit conference play. Last year, our margin of victory was 20 points. This year, I feel like we're going to have to play more good minutes to achieve what we want. If you don't, it's hard to win in this conference.? ? Edmisson said to The Oklahoman on the nonconference season
