dominate game knew separate
We knew this was a big game and that's why we wanted to dominate underneath. I think we just wanted to separate ourselves.
beat feels florida hard kentucky nation teams win
It feels really good. We wanted to beat teams like Florida and Kentucky in the SEC, but we also want to win championships. To be No. 8 in the nation is hard to believe.
games mean three trying win
It doesn't mean anything. I want to win the whole conference. That's our goal. We've got three games to do that, and that's what we're trying to do. We'll just keep going one game at a time.
anyone ball best career played playing
I think he's played the best ball he's played in his career this year. I think he's playing as well as anyone in the league.
focus main playing time work
Our main focus has been getting better every time we get on the floor. We don't look at where we're playing or who we're playing. We just look at it as five-on-five and that we're going to work harder.
eye line saying tiger week
Our line should get a lot of credit. We've been saying all week that we wanted to have the eye of the tiger and we did that. We want to have it all year.
helps rhythm sacrifice starting team
Starting just helps me get into a rhythm faster. But anything this team needs, I'll sacrifice and do.
arena bring came fill goals
That was one of my goals, to fill up the arena and bring it back to the Ernie and Bernie days. That's why I came to Tennessee.
teams worked
We've done it more than most teams I've worked with.
ask bit coming confidence defense good guy hearing hurt injury knows team year
When I first got here, he was coming off the injury and being hurt every year and hearing all the things about himself, so yeah, his confidence was a little bit down. But it's back up there, and he knows he's having a good year. I think if you ask any team we've played, he's the first guy on our defense that they would mention.
pushed quickness
I'm not getting pushed around as much, and I still have the quickness I've always had.
might stay sure
I'm not even sure why I still need to go. I might as well stay home, because we've got our guy.
anytime feet great guy listed size
Anytime you've got a back listed at 265 who's probably 280 and still has nimble feet like a 225-pound guy, it's going to take more than one guy to take him down. He's got great size and great feet. That's the combination that makes it so difficult. That's what makes him so special.
last lose messed remember rest tough whipped
They whipped us last year. It's always tough to lose to an in-state rival, but that was especially bad. I think we all remember that game. It pretty much messed up the rest of our season.
