balanced both definition ends sound team win
That's the definition of a team win on both ends of the floor. We were as balanced offensively as we have been all year. Defensively, we were as fundamentally sound as we were all year.
attention feeds gets thomas
The two of them are winners. Thomas feeds off of Big Baby's attention so much. Thomas gets all the junk, cleans everything up.
challenge compete offensive ready
They have so many different offensive weapons. We know it's going to be an unbelievable challenge to try and compete with them, so we're going to have to go out and get ready to play.
clock flawless game hitting needed played running shot tough
They made every shot they needed to even if the shot clock was running down, hitting tough ones. They really played about a flawless game from my perspective.
attack believer defend point team weapons
They made a believer out of me. They have so many different weapons to defend that can attack you. Every team you play at this point is pretty good. But they are really good.
beat bomb kept telling
They kept telling me on the bus, 'The bomb isn't going to beat us, coach.
couple december finals full middle players sat sit turn until week
It wasn't until the middle of December that things started to turn for him. In hindsight, I should have sat him a couple of games. He wanted to play, like all players do. We had that full week during finals where we were able to sit him and I think that helped.
bad explain hang start taking tried ugly
I tried to explain to them that this could get ugly this year. When they start taking bad about Daddy, just hang in there.
against arkansas came defensive loss needed wall
This is a disappointing loss because we just needed one more defensive stop. Arkansas had its back against the wall and they came through.
alabama miss tough win
This has always been a tough place for Alabama to play. To win here is big, because Ole Miss has always been tough on us here.
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.
chance
It's unbelievable what they've done and, hopefully, we'll get a chance to keep playing.
four free key plays stepped throws
Davidson stepped up and made those four free throws at the end. We made some key plays at key times.
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.
