stop
We thought we could win. We started executing, slowed it down, got on a little run. Then we couldn't stop them from scoring.
act coach either promised
You either act right, or we just tell Coach he has to let you go. He promised us he was going to act right, be on time, and he has been to practice, meetings.
chance lead
We just wanted to keep the lead and not give them the chance to take the lead.
deal easier knowing won
We could've won that game. That makes it easier to deal with, knowing that.
We wanted to show him we can play a little defense, too.
I didn't want to come out of the game.
shaky
It is kind of shaky for us right now. We really don't know what to expect. But we got to find something to do (to win). Fast.
background turning
From the background we've had, we're not used to losing. But we see the progress. We see it turning around.
beat came court knew
We knew we were going to beat Ole Miss. They came on the court talking, but we knew better.
great knew
We knew they were going to make runs. They've got great 3-point shooters. All of the sudden, it's up to 20 points.
tired
We pretty much got tired of it. Because (Sharpe) can play, and he's good. But he can't keep doing this all the time.
ended habit losing
This won't be a habit for us. It's over. It's done. All that losing ended today.
mentally mindset next ok ready work
I don't think most of us are mentally ready (for the NIT). The mindset is 'it's over, let's just work on next year.' I'm ok with that.
ashamed coach fuss
Coach was so mad, he didn't even fuss at us. We were ashamed at ourselves.
