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.
defense foul games good impressive last lose point seen teams took tough traveled until
The thing that was most impressive to me is we didn't foul on the last shot. And I've seen teams lose games because they're undisciplined and they foul. He took a tough shot. I thought he traveled before he shot. Our team did the five-switch defense on their own, which was good for them to be able to do, considering up until that point we hadn't really made too many good decisions.
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.
board create easy eliminate game guys jump sure telling trying watching
I'm sure Billy's telling his guys and they're watching tape, (saying) 'If you're not careful, LSU will board you and jump over you and jump over you and get easy baskets. I'm sure they're trying to eliminate those opportunities as we're trying to create more of them in that game Saturday.
adjust ball best coming couple defensive effort game good guard handle screens team ways works
We've got to have a good team defensive effort on him. It will be about how we handle him coming off screens without the ball and how we handle him when he comes off screens with the ball. There'll be a couple of different ways that we'll try to guard him, and we'll see which one works the best as the game progresses and adjust as we go.
game happened maybe practice run work
We hadn't run it in a game but maybe one time. We happened to work on it in our practice the other day.
anticipate games half three win
I anticipate us doing well in the tournament. I like our team. We were able to win three games and a half without Tyrus.
fill game people
If we could all these people to come to our game tonight, we'll fill it up.
comment game realized until win
I didn't really make a comment or think the game was over until the nine-second mark. That's when I realized we were going to win the game.
book certainly couple games goes record seasons win
When you have seasons like we're having, you have to win a couple of games like that. You don't win them all by the book, and this one wasn't certainly by the book that we would've liked. It certainly goes down in the record book as a win. That's the important thing.
believed game people playing team top youth
I told them after the game that we were a Top 25 team and people just don't know it yet. And I really believed that because of the way we were playing with the youth that we had.
consistent game good guys mitchell night player question valuable
Darrel Mitchell is without question the most valuable player in the SEC in my opinion. He is the most consistent player. Other guys may have had better games, but he has good game and after good game and has not had an off night yet.
averages game key minutes plays
Darrell is the key for everything that we do. He plays 35-38 minutes a game (officially averages 36.6) for us.
