attacked bit couple holes late pickle stay teams wind zone
We had a couple of different things we did. I didn't think they attacked it well at times. Sometimes, you can stay in it too long and teams can find holes in your zone and I thought they did a couple of times late in the game. We wind up in a little bit of a pickle when we don't have depth.
felt good late road shots today
We've been pretty good on the road with our poise, but I thought today we got a little hurried. Late in the game, LSU made some big shots and we weren't making shots. I just felt like they had a little more in their tank.
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.
high late maturity ron school starting step unique ways
Ron Steele is starting to step up in ways that he did in high school with his team. With maturity comes some aggressiveness, especially late in the game. He's a unique person and he will find a way for you to win. He's done that for us this year.
floor freshmen seen series
This will be the most freshmen on the floor that this series has seen in a long time.
huge understand
We understand this would be a huge, huge upset.
athletic defensive physical stanford team
This team is much more physical and athletic than that Stanford team. They're also a much better defensive team.
definition team
This was the definition of a team win.
foot gas goals left pedal reach work
We're going to win, 100 percent. We've got a lot of work left to do to reach our goals. We're not going to take our foot off the gas pedal at all.
depth wore
To be honest, I think Kentucky's depth wore us down a little bit. I sensed we got a little tired. I think they were a little fresher than we were and that's just who we are right now. There's nothing we can do about that.
absolute best country game kids super teams time
Every game is like the absolute biggest, hugest game. It's like the Super Bowl. There are so many teams around the country that are in that same position. You just have to go play. The kids are having fun. This is the best time of the year. This is what you play for.
appreciate heard matter opportunity soon tremendous troops
As soon as I heard about it, I thought, 'I'm going no matter when it is,' ... It's a tremendous opportunity for us to show our troops how much we appreciate what they're doing.
mindset win
We need to go in with the mindset that we need to win the tournament. If we've done enough already, that's fine. We still need to go in with that attitude.
anyone change confidence jump shot
Today, we were a jump shot away from being in the 'Sweet 16. I wouldn't change a thing. I have as much confidence in Ronald Steele as anyone I ever have. We got what we wanted and it just didn't go down.
