forced front instead leadership people pick senior somebody watching
When you're struggling, you don't have a lot of senior leadership to pick people up. They're forced to play a lot of minutes. Instead of watching somebody in front of them and being apprentices, they've got to play.
brightest foul stretch
We're small. We have to play aggressively. We can't back off because we're too little. We don't play the brightest by any stretch of the imagination. We just make some plays. If I had any hair, it would be out. We foul way too much. All of that has to do with us being small. We really have to play that way, but we have to be smarter.
energy execution gave guys moses played
I thought Moses and Brett were terrific. They're guys who haven't played much, but they gave us some execution and energy and got us back in the game.
bad beaten half second team
That was not a PG-rated halftime. I thought in the second half we had a lot more energy. The first half was horrendous. One thing I did tell them is they couldn't have beaten a bad JV team in the first half.
against hit looked state
I thought we looked very fatigued against Mississippi State and kind of hit the wall.
chances game played until win
We played well enough to win the game - we just couldn't get it done. We had chances until the end.
aggressive ball offensive score struggle
We need to have him score for us. We struggle to put the ball in the basket. He's got to be very aggressive on the offensive end, which he was tonight.
point
We could never really get it to that point where we made it interesting.
ball finish kids percent putting success
We are doing 80 (percent) of things right and just can't finish the 20 percent - and that is putting the ball in the basket. It is frustrating for the kids but we have to go through this. It's a prerequisite for success down the road.
needed shoot
We needed them to shoot because we needed to get into the game. But they were making them.
finish talked time
We talked about it. We don't want to finish there. We don't want to come in last. This is our time to do it.
clock offensive rebound running shot time
We wanted to take one (shot) and have time to get an offensive rebound. We got the rebound and got jammed pretty good. The clock was running down and we shot it pretty quickly. We got the look we wanted the first time.
kids maybe points score tennessee
We do not score 64 points in games. We have had maybe 10 games, maybe, where we have not scored 64 points. Our kids battled, but Tennessee was too good.
certainly guys wish
We wish Dwayne well. We certainly could use him, but we want guys here that want to be at Auburn.
