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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
basketball future good high level louisiana players realize schedule teams tech temple whether
Whether we play Winthrop or Louisiana Tech or (future opponents) Temple or (North Carolina) State, the players realize we schedule very, very good basketball teams and we've got to play at a high level every night.
beaten bottom east line teams three top
We've beaten the top three teams in the (SEC) East and the top three teams in the West, and I don't know too many other teams that have done that. The bottom line is we need to keep winning.
We got what we wanted. It just didn't go down.
game leave state taking
We're going to leave this game here - we're not taking this one with us. We didn't play very well today, and Mississippi State was terrific.
absolutely anybody good high past playing team
We're not good enough to look past anybody or have letdowns. Every team we play can absolutely put it on us when we're not playing well or at a high level.
actions bad fans great night ruin terrific
We've got great fans, terrific fans and you don't want to let the actions of one person ruin a night or have something bad happen.
extend good guys knew lead respond run
We knew they'd make a run, come back at us a little bit. They're too good of a team, too well coached, but our guys were able to respond to their run and extend the lead back up there.
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.
