game gets goes good great michigan ncaa road size state tougher zone
Michigan State has great size and a great perimeter game as well. They play a very good match-up zone defense. It's going to be a challenge, but that's why we play in the NCAA Tournament. When you get to this point, it gets tougher as the road goes on.

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.

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.

That was a really huge statement. It's a mirror image of what the men have on their side. The administration moved out and the coaches moved in. It's not the office - it's the message that sent.

It feels good to be in this position. It's been awhile for Kentucky. This team is very deserving.
