bounce character check hopefully tough
We are in a tough spot. We'll have a character check and hopefully bounce back.
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.
people pick seems surprised
I'm not surprised at all. Some people want to pick us to be down, but it never seems like we are.
against character great guys lesser panicked proud
It was a great game, obviously. I'm proud of our players. Guys with lesser character would have been too down to show up to play or would have panicked when things were going against us.
came chance either fact good leading less needed nowhere offense order win
It kind of came down to the fact our leading scorer was nowhere what we needed him to be in order to give us a chance to win on either end. He wasn't very good on offense and he was less than that on defense, unfortunately.
asks mario
That's completely ludicrous. That's completely nonsensical. If Mario has a question, he asks me. If I have a question, I ask him. That's absurd.
ball good taking
They were up on him and he was just taking the ball to the basket. He's just a really good player.
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.
basketball carolina last needed played solid south team three win
We got a much needed win at South Carolina on Saturday. I like how our team is playing. We feel like we've played solid basketball over the last two or three weeks.
extremely grateful life means mike playing prognosis rest saved truly
While we are extremely disappointed that this means the end of Davis' playing career, we're very grateful that the prognosis for the rest of his life is good. Mike Meyer is truly a hero. He single-handedly saved the life of Davis.
few minutes pace push run tempo
We wanted to push the tempo and run it more and I thought we did, especially after the first few minutes of the game. When the pace got up, it favored us.
game good job ran road second win
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.
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.
