felt game good knee problems
The knee felt good and once the game started I didn't have any problems. I'm not in shape. Once I slowed down, I got tired.
felt good happen needed playing
I felt like after that we were going to win. We've been playing well; we just needed something good to happen for us.
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 chance contribute good minutes
I think, hopefully, I'll get to play a lot, ... I think I have a pretty good chance to contribute right away. I'll contribute in any way I can. I mean, I won't play 35 minutes every night, but I'll contribute the best I can when I'm in there.
dame good run stay teams tempo win
You can't ever feel good after a loss. But we know that if we keep the tempo going and stay positive, we can win games. You don't run into many teams as good as this one, even if Notre Dame does come in with a great-shooting team (on Saturday).
again decision glad hard school
It was hard enough making the decision where I wanted to go to school the first time, so to go through it again was really stressful, ... I'm just glad it's over with.

It was a fun game to play. From here on out every game is going to be a war.
fans seen taken
The fans were probably taken aback. But it's something we've all seen before.
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.
aggressive foul half rhythm second seemed stop trouble
I had to come out and be aggressive in the second half and not get in foul trouble. It seemed we'd get in the rhythm and then there'd be a stop in play.
guards hard press quick run slap
Their guards are so unbelievably quick on defense, they slap down a lot and get a lot of steals. Their press makes it hard for you to run your offense.
ball defense guards hard pressure slap
Their guards are just so unbelievably quick. On defense they slap down a lot and get steals, and they pressure the ball a lot and make it hard to get into your offense.
last
This validates what I was doing over the last 11 years. It's very flattering, very humbling.
afford game games home lose road win
Every game right now for us is a must win. We can't afford to lose any game. Now we've got to win some of these road games and all our home games just to try to get back to .500.
