country looked proved team
They proved why they're the No. 3 team in the country. They looked like the No. 1 team in the country.
composure kept kids proud
This is a really, really big win. I'm proud of how our kids kept their composure on the road.
defense game good hand looks solid
I thought early, we let Hand get some good looks with the 3. But I thought as the game progressed, we were able to take away the 3. Our perimeter defense has been pretty solid all year.
both covert early extremely forced game georgia quickness shot teams
I thought both teams started the game very intense. Georgia's athleticism and quickness on the perimeter really forced us into some early turnovers and Georgia was able to covert those turnovers into baskets. Georgia shot extremely well. We couldn't get anything started offensively.
certainly earn fact given gives motto progress year
It certainly gives us a lift. Our motto this year has been to earn respect. It's earned. It's never just given to you. It's just another way of validating the fact that we have made some progress at Kentucky.
believe
I always think we can win. I always believe we have a chance.
fought harder players post
Some of our post players shied away. We've got to get tougher. They fought harder inside.
basket close effort five free game good last looks minutes proud score struggled throw
I'm very, very proud of our effort and very disappointed we couldn't close the game. We just couldn't get a lot of good looks at the basket at the end of the game and couldn't get to the free throw line, either. We really struggled to score the last five minutes of the game.
added maybe playing pressure sure youth
I'm not sure why that is. Maybe it's our youth or the added pressure of playing there.
absorb gave hopefully time
Hopefully it gave them some time to absorb everything.
crowd
The crowd was unbelievable. It was so loud.
almost biggest head win
This is no question, the biggest win as head coach. It's unbelievable and almost surreal.
almost battling biggest came close head kept knew needed possession question stops win
This is no question the biggest win as a head coach. It's unbelievable and almost surreal. I knew if we kept battling and kept it close we had a chance. Our rebounding was there when we needed it and we got big stops when we needed it. It really came down to one possession and we got a stop.
great handled played pressure win
This is a great win for us. We played hard, we handled their pressure and we really rebounded well.
