game leave state taking
We're going to leave this game here - we're not taking this one with us. We didn't play very well today, and Mississippi State was terrific.
absolutely anybody good high past playing team
We're not good enough to look past anybody or have letdowns. Every team we play can absolutely put it on us when we're not playing well or at a high level.
actions bad fans great night ruin terrific
We've got great fans, terrific fans and you don't want to let the actions of one person ruin a night or have something bad happen.
extend good guys knew lead respond run
We knew they'd make a run, come back at us a little bit. They're too good of a team, too well coached, but our guys were able to respond to their run and extend the lead back up there.
huge understand
We understand this would be a huge, huge upset.
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.
ability avoid foul hurt needs team
We're a team that needs to avoid foul trouble. It hurt our ability to score. That was a big factor.
led state team
Those of us who know him know his background. He led his team to two state championships. He's an unbelievable winner, and we would not be here without Ronald Steele.
magic team
You'd like to put some magic potion on your team and have them play like that every game.
game good ncaa playing start thinking
We're not thinking about the NCAA tournament. We're thinking about playing a game at Ole Miss. Period. It doesn't do any good to start all that speculation. It's way too early.
bona careful concept ncaa needs team tournament whether
Our team just needs to be careful of that whole concept of whether we're a bona fide NCAA tournament team or not. We've got to play better.
bunch floor freshmen last number players playing
They've got a number of young players. We have a bunch of young players as well, so there's probably going to be more freshmen on the floor than we've had in the last number of years playing in this game.
bad guys played tonight
They had some guys do some things tonight they hadn't done. That's probably because we played so bad defensively.
against allowed happened rules
You're not allowed to be tired. That's against the rules. That's not an option. They know what happened at Arkansas. They know what happened against Kentucky. They just didn't want that to happen anymore.
