needed shoot
We needed them to shoot because we needed to get into the game. But they were making them.
doubt eye needed win
A win helps, no doubt about it. There's just a different look in their eye when you win. We needed to get this one.
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.
certainly guys wish
We wish Dwayne well. We certainly could use him, but we want guys here that want to be at Auburn.
against confidence four freshmen nice physical tough worry
With four freshmen starting, you always worry about the confidence of your team. It was nice to be able to get one against Georgia, a very physical and tough team.
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.
explain
There's many challenges. We'd be here for 10 years if I wanted to explain all of them.
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.
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.
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.
final fire hard reality sets
(Freshmen) all think they are going to come in and set the world on fire and go to the Final Four. When reality sets in to them a little bit, they can be a little discouraged. It's up to us to try to get them back. It's just a hard thing when you are going through it.
coming dominated forward glass guys inside state stronger terrific
Mississippi State dominated us on the glass in our first game. They're coming in after a big win. (Sophomore forward Charles) Rhodes is a terrific player. He's so much stronger than our inside guys right now.
body hurt language occurred team
When you have turnovers, you can just see the body language of our team when they occurred on tape. It really hurt the team.
