chance felt good hard high recruit tried virginia
We tried very hard to recruit Derrick out of high school. We actually thought we would be right there and have a chance to get him. Virginia got him, but we felt like he was a very good player.

I've been saying our team has been playing good basketball. We just don't have a lot to show for it.
few gave inside last presence today
(Terrell) gave us a presence inside today that we haven't had in the last few games.
both couple defense difficult doubt fortunate fought game good hard home last matter played record road teams trouble unto
Every game is a game unto itself. Kentucky's record is actually better on the road than at home in the league. We know it is going to be a difficult game. It was a difficult game last time. Both teams fought hard and played good defense and had trouble scoring. We were fortunate a couple things did go our way at the end, but I doubt if that will matter Saturday.
corey key might plays reason recruit tried
Corey is a real high-energy player. That's one reason we tried to recruit him. He made some key plays for them tonight, and that might have been the biggest.

We did a good job of getting back in the game in the second half, but we ran out of gas. You have to play really well on the road to win in this league. We didn't and they did.

We had lost three games on the last possession in league play. I'm really happy for our players. They deserve this.

We've had consistent breakdowns, especially offensively. Unfortunately, some of the same guys are making the mistakes.

That was one that obviously shouldn't have gotten away from us.
defensive happy second
I was not happy at halftime. Our defensive play was sloppy, and I thought we did much better in the second half.
bounce character effort felt games guys happen less played pleased team today wednesday
I was very pleased to see our guys bounce back today with the effort and energy, especially with how they played with in the first half. It was one of those games where anything can happen after the devastation we felt on Wednesday night. A team with less character would not show up to play.
invited sounds
From what you read and what you hear, it sounds like we should've been invited to the women's tournament.
banner carrying florida team
I wouldn't say we're carrying the banner for the SEC, but we're doing our part. Florida has been the team that's jumped up and said, 'Hey, look at us.' That's not us. But we like where we are.
