basket complete fool fools-and-foolishness game jumping won
I thought the game was over. I'm a complete idiot. I was jumping up and down like a fool out there. I thought Gee's basket won the game for us.
gesture great
I thought that was just a great gesture on Evan Brock's part.
beat florida played playing state team year
I think we're playing a team who is playing as well as they've played all year long. They beat Florida twice, and they beat Mississippi State pretty bad.
difference eight nine
I think there's not a lot of difference between the eight and nine seeds, that's what makes it difficult.
basketball became chance continue excited good graduate leader mature nation next past premier team track
I think it's a good decision. I think he's got a chance to be one of the premier forwards in the nation next season. He became a leader on our basketball team this past season, and I think he'll continue to mature as a player. And I'm also excited because he's on track to graduate next spring.
confidence gave great improved stacked year
I think it gave him some confidence and he got to see where he stacked up. He had a great year this year, and he's improved every year he's been here.
allowed excuse injury statement
I think it's a statement for our players. I don't think that they ever allowed Chuck's injury to be a built-in excuse for them.
believe bit easy positive score team unsure
I think it's easy to get down. Our team is going to be a little bit unsure how we're going to score and how we're going to play without Chuck. We're going to be very positive and just believe in these guys.
defending good job struggle teams time
I think teams have done a good job of defending him a little better. And he's not Superman. He's human. He's going to struggle from time to time. That's just part of it. He'll be fine.
asked ron team
I will be completely miffed if this team hasn't done everything that we've been asked to do. I think Ron (Steele) said it best, 'It's out of our hands.
against aggressive anybody country december easier four hope hurt last played sudden teams three
Really in the last two, three or four years we've been as aggressive as anybody in the country with our non-conference schedule. I hope that doesn't hurt us. I hope that all of a sudden that's not used against you, because we could have played three easier teams in December and we'd be 20-9 and everyone will be celebrating.
options room
Our options are limited, and we know that. We have very little room for error.
coach knew level opportunity smaller successful
He was very successful at the smaller level, and when he had the opportunity to coach at this level I knew he would do well.
america freshmen goodness mean
(He) has come out of nowhere. I mean my goodness, I don't think there's a whole lot of freshmen in America doing what he's doing. He has been terrific.
