It gives everybody the impression that we didn't do that well. ... We had a good year last year. I don't think we should apologize for winning the league or finishing second the year before and going to the Elite Eight.
coach double finishing games nobody road season six winning year
The Coach of the Year doesn't make the season more gratifying, winning six games on the road by double digits and finishing the way we did being so young is what was so gratifying. This year we started 1-2 and nobody thought we had a shot.
beat believe conference confidence good great hard help magnitude national performance saturday winning
A good performance on Saturday would be a great springboard for our kids' confidence going into conference play. You can get confidence from winning games, but you still have to go out and beat someone of national magnitude to really believe that it's going to help you win a hard game.

We didn't play a lot better than Nebraska. We just made shots. Certainly, that cures a lot of ills.
eight game help percent shooting taking team three
Brandon's got to be a playmaker for us. When you're shooting 60 percent from three, you need to be taking more than three a game. He should be taking eight a game and shooting 40 percent. That would help the team a lot more.

Brandon says a lot of things. He also said Ashley Judd was looking at him at the Kentucky game.
again asked decent difference five last minutes score six
Brandon had used a lot of energy. The last five or six minutes I asked him could he do it? He said yes. That may have been as big a difference in the game. He (Everett) didn't score again after that. He didn't get a decent look after that.
