encouraged played sitting tough
We're disappointed sitting here 6-5. We don't want to be 6-5. We've played a tough schedule, but we still don't want to be 6-5. But I like our team. I'm encouraged at how we played.
few gets kids national played schedule soft team wish won
I wish we would have played the same schedule and won a few more. I don't want to play a soft schedule and the kids don't, either. I want to play a national schedule that gets them exposure. It's going to make our team better.

Those guys, for young players, are doing some amazing things in this league. They played us tough at home, and we know it's a tough environment for us to win in Starkville.

We were stunned (after the loss to Ole Miss) when Chuck went down, and we played like it. But now we've gained some confidence. We've had some different players step up and carry us. That's been the difference between then and now.
flawless perspective played state
Mississippi State played about a flawless game, from my perspective.

They had some guys do some things tonight they hadn't done. That's probably because we played so bad defensively.

They did what they needed to do. It came down to the backboard. We played our big lineup, so we're disappointed we didn't win. Kelvin's got a good team. They played hard and rebounded well.

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.
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.

Look at their team and the personnel they have. I think everybody in this league would all agree Arkansas is good enough to handle everybody in this league. They played terrific in Tuscaloosa. We were fortunate enough to win.

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.

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.
