best country five fresh guys run seemed send talented team time wore
They're the best team in the country and they showed why. They're so talented and so deep. It seemed like every time we made a little run they'd send in five guys who were fresh and just as good. They kind of wore us down.

We lost the game. I don't like losing. I'm not very happy right now.
anytime basketball foul good kentucky leave regardless taste team today whether
Regardless of whether I'm in foul trouble, we just didn't play well as a team. Kentucky outplayed us in every area. They were just the better basketball team today and anytime that happens, it's not going to leave a good taste in your mouth.

best conference days fact few games hang head lost reflecting teams upset
I'm excited. They're one of the best teams in the country, if not the best team. We were all pretty upset that we lost (at St. John's on Tuesday) and the fact that we didn't play very well. After a few days you can't just hang your head and keep reflecting on the past. We've got 12 conference games left, and we've got to concentrate on getting better and better.
