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.
good might pride shoot took tougher
We thought with his (Felix's) size, he might be a little tougher to shoot over. He took some pride in that today, and he should. He's a really good defender.
blow care chuck cried great guy happen hate obviously tough year
He is obviously done for the year so that's a tough blow for our team. We're really disappointed for Chuck and sad. I care about him so much. I cried with him the other day -- you hate to see that happen to a young person. And he's just a great guy and he was having a great year.
amazing environment played tough win
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.
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.
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.
alabama miss tough win
This has always been a tough place for Alabama to play. To win here is big, because Ole Miss has always been tough on us here.
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.
