game night shot thinking
Sometimes the game comes out to one shot, and I know he'll be thinking about that shot all night long. It's just part of the game.
depended ron rushed settle shots
Ron has probably rushed his shots a little bit. I want him just to settle down and play. I think we've depended on him too much, too.
bad defend five foul four mind missed needed settle shots taken took tough
We had missed foul shots, we took four or five bad shots that we had not taken in a while and they had made some tough ones. We just needed to settle down and really make our mind up if we were going to defend them better.
bad games good last shots
That was the good (side). There was no question. The last two games he was something like 2-for-15 from the field. But for us to be good, we have to give him the shots when he's open. You just have to take the bad with the good. He had one of those performances that's phenomenal.
depth missed near problem shots tired
I tell you, Kentucky's depth was a problem for us. We got tired near the end, and they made some shots while we missed them.
earnest kennedy last needs shot team winston year
I think he realizes he needs to be more aggressive. He didn't have to look for his shot as much last year because we had ( Kennedy ) Winston and ( Earnest ) Shelton . The team needs him to be a scorer and he's done that.
ball blow cancel challenge definite found rhythm shot situations
We haven't shot the ball very well. It's one of those situations where we haven't found our rhythm at all. ... It's a definite blow but we're going to try to challenge our players. We're not going to cancel the season.
best jump lost player shot sweet today
We were 7-6, lost our best player and today we were a jump shot away from being in the Sweet Sixteen. I wouldn't do anything differently.
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.
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.
best jump lost overcame player shot sweet
We're 7-6, lost our best player and we're a jump shot away from being in the Sweet 16. They overcame a lot.
chance good line ron shot three win
We're 1-of-10 from the 3-point line and we're right there and have a chance to win at the end of the game. We're down three and Ron had a pretty good shot at the end.
against couple games good last loose shots start zone
His last two games he was 2-for-15 from the field. He really concentrated on his shooting. For us to be good you can't take the shots away from him. He got loose against the zone and made a couple of shots, he got off to a real good start and I thought that was the key.
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.
