add deserved fight guys hold misses shoot stand
I probably deserved one long before I got that one. You've got to stand up and fight for your guys at some point. We out-rebounded them by 12, and not only that they had a lot more misses than we did. We hold them to 36 percent, we shoot 47 percent...some of those things didn't add up.
bringing challenge difficult game georgia improved job nice program team
Georgia is probably the most improved team in the league. Dennis (Felton) has done a nice job of bringing the program along. It will be a difficult challenge to get a game back on the road.
certainly enjoyed legs opportunity week
We've certainly enjoyed the bye week and having the opportunity to try to get our legs back under us a little bit.
finish half hook
We didn't finish the first half well. We kind of let them off the hook a little bit.
control difference guy huge pace speed
When you have a guy who can control the speed and pace of a game, it makes a huge difference for teams.
care emergency great medical mike quite trainer turned
Without going into great details, it turned into quite the emergency situation. Our trainer Mike Meyer was courtside and was phenomenal. We called 911 and the paramedics got there shortly. Fortunately, he had great medical care and he's doing fine. He's going to be fine.
emphasis master teams
We are one of the lowest-fouling teams in the league. We have put a big emphasis on not fouling. Obviously, we were not able to master that today.
bounce character check hopefully tough
We are in a tough spot. We'll have a character check and hopefully bounce back.
anyone defensive good inside line looked offensive players quirky
We had a very good defensive stand. We didn't want anyone to be open. We were not to go inside the three-point line. It looked quirky with all the offensive players inside the line and all the defensive players outside.
loss mourn south team time
We had a very disappointing loss (to South Carolina) and it will be very interesting to see how our team handles it. In this league, you don't have time to mourn a loss.
absolute ball challenge difficult gets nightmare playing trying
The real challenge is when the ball gets shot. Once it's up in the air, it's an absolute nightmare trying to keep them from getting to it. That's the most difficult thing about playing them.
extremely good minute played team
Other than a minute and a half, our team played an extremely good game.
accept adjusting both freshman hard intensity sophomore trouble understand whether worked year yelling
I think it was hard for him, initially, during his freshman year and a little his sophomore year, whether it was the intensity or my yelling or whatever. He probably had some trouble adjusting to that. I think we've both worked hard to try and understand the other and accept some differences.
