felt frustrated might negative trying worried
I wasn't trying to get a foul. I don't know that I was worried that I did or not. I felt like if I got one, it might not always be a negative thing at that point. I was just a little frustrated at some calls.
confidence ron
I would not do anything different at the end. I have all the confidence in the world in Ron Steele.
ball blow cancel challenge definite found rhythm shot situations
We haven't shot the ball very well. It's one of those situations where we haven't found our rhythm at all. ... It's a definite blow but we're going to try to challenge our players. We're not going to cancel the season.
good seemed strengths took
We never got into a good rhythm. Defensively, they did some things and took some of our strengths away. We never seemed to get our aggressiveness back they way we need to around the basket.
ball containing enemy free missing team throw whether worst
We're a team that's got to get better. We're our own worst enemy -- whether it's free throw shooting, whether it's missing lay-ins or containing the ball defensively, we've just got to play a lot better.

We're a team that needs to avoid foul trouble. It hurt our ability to score. That was a big factor.
ball beat count foul good hands hard late quick shooter
He's really smart, really quick and I think he can beat you in different ways. He's such a good foul shooter that when he's fouled, it's hard to not count those as two points. ... We want the ball in his hands late in the game.
iron man version
He's the man of steel, no question. He's our version of Lou Gehrig. He's the iron man; he never comes out.
miss thinking
I haven't thought too much about it. We are thinking about Ole Miss right now, period.

In the time outs, there was a ton of determination in those guys. That comes from being burned once or twice.
chance decided hard players proud themselves
I'm proud of our guys. I think our players just decided to rally, play hard and do everything they can to give themselves a chance to win.
athletic players
(Arkansas is) one of the most athletic groups, players 1 through 9, in this whole tournament.
coach difficult
As a coach, sometimes that's a difficult thing to do.
cap fact far feather gives night number perceived selection tournament
The fact we don't play on the first night of the tournament is big. That was important for us for a number of reasons. No. 1, it gives you another day or rest. No. 2, it's one more feather in your cap as far as how you're perceived by the (NCAA) selection committee.
