flawless perspective played state
Mississippi State played about a flawless game, from my perspective.
across came excited five name players quite relief row statement sure
It was sure a relief when our name came across there. I'm excited for our players and our program. It's quite a statement that this is five in a row for us.
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.
led state team
Those of us who know him know his background. He led his team to two state championships. He's an unbelievable winner, and we would not be here without Ronald Steele.
beat florida played playing state team year
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.
allowed excuse injury statement
I think it's a statement for our players. I don't think that they ever allowed Chuck's injury to be a built-in excuse for them.
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.
advantages chance explain far men outweigh senior top tried
I've tried to explain to (Davidson) the advantages of him as a senior here, which I think would far outweigh any gamble. He's got a chance to be one of the top big men in the nation.
bodies
I sensed we got a little tired. They have a lot more bodies to play. I think they were a little fresher than we were. That's who we are right now.
cents check dollar either elizabeth everybody fan gift hopefully hoping match maybe motivate others quarter whatever
Elizabeth and I are going to pledge, personally, one dollar for every fan in attendance. I'm hoping to write a check for $10,000 that night. We are encouraging others to either match that gift or just give whatever they can. Maybe it's 50 cents or a quarter for everybody in attendance. Hopefully that can be something that will motivate others to do the same thing.
advance team watch
Florida's a team we're going to watch advance through the tournament.
chance eighth excited guys highly pose problems ranked team third tremendous underrated upset
First of all it's going to be a tremendous challenge. They are ranked third in the RPI and eighth in the AP. They are very underrated and will pose problems for us. On the other hand, our guys are very excited about having the chance to upset a team that is highly ranked.
guy guys practiced team throwing
Felix is the only guy on the team that can make the pass. We practiced it and had guys throwing it all over the gym.
figure team trying within
There's still things within our team that we're trying to figure out. We need to play better.
