basketball prouder team
We're disappointed, but I couldn't be more prouder of a basketball team than I am right now.
chance decided hard players proud themselves
I'm proud of our guys. I think our players just decided to rally, play hard and do everything they can to give themselves a chance to win.
accepted build certainly easiest fact great guy key knew lose losing particular player points proud proven reason team
This particular team has made me very proud of them. The reason is, they certainly could have accepted the fact that losing a great player, a proven player for us, a guy that we all knew could get baskets in key points in the game. Lose that guy and the easiest thing to do is build in excuses.
proud
It's disappointing to lose, but I'm proud of our team; I'm proud of the way we played.
floor freshmen seen series
This will be the most freshmen on the floor that this series has seen in a long time.
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.
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.
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.
