They shoot it more than us, and they shoot it better.
enjoyed experience fun hope second talented though works year
This has been fun to be part of, though this is only Jacob's second year with that. He's really enjoyed this experience and I hope it all works out for them because this is a very talented team.
incredible player question
Something could have happened. I thought the player in question showed incredible restraint. I don't know how I would have reacted under the same circumstances.
defense looks nobody open respect roll shooting shows sparks stretch teams wants
Sparks can make you stretch your defense more than you want. I think it shows how much teams respect him that he still was not getting many open looks even when he was not shooting well. Nobody wants to let him get on a roll with his shooting because if he does, he can shoot you out of a game.
conference four game games last lose response won
As I told them right after the game last night, we won our first two conference games last year, then we proceeded to lose four of six. Our response to that game is more important than the game itself.

(Terrell) gave us a presence inside today that we haven't had in the last few games.
coaching comparable game son watching worked
I don't get too worked up, but coaching in an SEC game and watching your son play in a big game are pretty comparable (on the nerves). But I want him to do well, that's for sure.
catching coming difficult far florida game habit league loss obviously places seems team time tough
Obviously we've got yet another game where we're catching a team at a tough time coming off a tough loss and it seems like we've made a habit of that so far in the league season. Florida is always one of the most difficult places to play in the league. ... It will be a difficult task.
defense few fine good played ran tennessee turned
I was fine with how we ran our offense, and I was fine with how we played defense. We turned it over a few more than our average. Tennessee is good at making you do that.
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.
game last year
Last year we were a game or two away. This year we're a game or two away.
consistent good nice player year
Shan is an outstanding player. He's had a very good year for us. He's been a pretty consistent player for us, which is a nice thing to be called when you're only a sophomore.

Most teams in this league have a terrific balance when it comes to players that are skilled and athletic. We're looking for the best balance we can find.
