bit chance finish games high ncaa playing position puts row second seed west winning year
Winning the SEC West for the second year in a row is a significant thing, but we want to do a little bit better. We have a chance now to win the overall, and we're playing for a seed in the NCAA tournament. That's what we need to think about. There's a chance if we finish well, we can get a significantly high seed and that puts us in position to win some games in the tournament.
chance college concern good guard major time win
They're a guard-oriented, perimeter-oriented team. Any time you have good guard play in college basketball, you have a chance to win some games. That's our major concern right now.
against assist chance compliment defended game key knew night saw thomas win
Defensively that was a key for us, because you saw the game (Aldridge) had the night before last. And we knew if he did that against us, we had no chance to win the game. So you've got to compliment Glen specifically and Tyrus Thomas as an assist in the way we defended him today.
chance hold win
I said if our perimeter could hold up, we would have a chance to win the game.
chance coming crude europe good hesitate oil products release supply
If there is a supply disruption, which there is a good chance there will be, they may not hesitate to release the SPR and we already have crude oil and products coming from Europe after Katrina.
ben great man people send tried
We tried to send people stunting and tried to man up on him, but Ben had great feet.
against ball quick score tried
We tried to score a little too quick against their zone. We got the ball where we wanted, but we tried to score without getting the ball reversed.
man playing stop
We were playing man and couldn't really stop them.
determination five goes maybe might minutes opposed playing rest short week
We might just have to play Tyrus in short stretches. As opposed to playing him 12 or 14 minutes straight, maybe he can just go five and we'll take him out, let him rest and put him back in. The more he plays, the better he'll feel and the more comfortable he'll feel. We'll make more of a determination of that as the week goes on.
field foul free next night percent
We're usually 69, 70 percent at the line. If you're not making field goals, the next thing you try to do is try and make it up at the foul line. We had 28 free throws, but we couldn't make those, either. It was that kind of night for us.
against ball half mean nine patient points team time worked
We scored nine points and had 10 turnovers in the first half against a zone! When I tell the team to be patient I don't mean make 40 passes, just four. Every time we worked the ball around, we got it inside.
coaches eliminate extremely players tried trust
I've tried to eliminate that from my thought process. But I got it. Trust me. I got it from so many people. I got it. I know it was disappointing to us as coaches and to our players and extremely disappointing to our fans.
along ball critical far games good helped holds maybe moments shot shots timely
I've said all along that if our perimeter holds up, we're a pretty good team. So far our perimeter hasn't shot the ball as well as maybe we would have liked, but I think we've made some timely shots in critical moments of games that have helped our team.
games injury kevin lost matter player seven shoe
I've never had a player have an injury like that. Usually it's a matter of tightening up a shoe and gutting it out. We lost Kevin for seven games and he's still not 100 percent.
