calm freshmen improved job respect shows team tremendous
I think he's done a tremendous job working with the freshmen on this team from day one. For him to be that calm with a lot of young guys, it just shows the respect he has for them. From my first year, he's improved each year.
fight hit played seems shot
We played as well as could be expected. We been struggling. We just don't have that fight in us anymore. Seems like if we don't hit the shot we don't want to play defense.
cracking exaggerate great jokes kinds practice simple somebody stuff time
He's a character. In practice he's cracking jokes all the time to get us going. When we're going in practice, if somebody fouls him he'll exaggerate it and make all kinds of noise. It's just simple stuff like that that makes us laugh. He's a big, great guy.
freshman sit tough watch
My freshman year, he was a tough cookie. I would just sit back and watch him and laugh, and I don't think he would like that.
sitting
Without Darnell, we wouldn't be sitting up here.
stayed
That stayed with me all night. Then it was pretty much over.
bad best felt games good hyped last since start three
I've just been hyped up the last three games after I had that bad start in the SEC. I felt real good tonight. It was probably the best since I've been here.
couple emotional saw seconds
It was really unexplainable. When I saw it go in, I saw we had a couple of seconds left, so I couldn't get as emotional as I wanted to.
coming forget guys handle league start tall tough
It's tough guarding guys who are 6-6 that can handle the ball, but that's what the league is coming to. A lot of them are so good, you kind of forget about (how tall they are) when you start playing.
hit turning
When Glen hit the 3, that was the turning point.
leaders step
That's what leaders do. They step up and make big plays.
ankle bit days extra good normal playing prepare rather rest though time tournament
I think we should go into the tournament pretty healthy. My ankle is pretty much back to normal, and Tyrus should be back to normal once we get there. So I think we'll be all right. Even though we lost, it's a good thing that we get some extra days rest rather than playing Sunday. We have a little bit more time to prepare for this trip.
carried stepped
Glen just stepped up and carried us today.
knew
He knew he was going to get doubled the way he did in Gainesville.
