players price worth
She is one of those players that is worth the price of admission.
both defensive ends good heck mostly strong talked terms
LSU is talked about mostly in terms of their offense. They're a heck of a good defensive team, too. They're very strong on both ends of the floor.
extremely good playing
LSU is a well-oiled machine. They are extremely talented, but we feel we are playing them at a good time.
excited five freshmen games loves programs strive team
We have five freshmen on the team so everything is new. They are very excited to get into SEC play. The team loves to play big games because these are the programs they strive to become.
beat great matter records rival school survival time tough versus win
It was a great win for us. Any time you beat a rival school, it's exciting. It doesn't matter what the records are, it's always tough when it's Auburn versus Alabama. It was survival of the fittest tonight.
basketball facility head job nice time wants
It's well overdue. It's time for a new facility -- I don't know how else to put it. Auburn has done a nice job with a lot of other facilities. Basketball has been neglected. It's very encouraging that Auburn wants to head in that direction.
confidence gave good point
It made a big difference. It gave us a lot of confidence going into the half. Confidence is really important at this point -- to just feel good about what you're doing. That was huge.
good push recognize showing work
It was awful. I go back and look at film and I don't even recognize that team. We didn't push the ball. We didn't work hard. It wasn't us. It was very disappointing for all of us. It wasn't a good showing for Auburn.
good recognize showing
It was awful. I go back and look at film and I don't even recognize that team. It wasn't a good showing for Auburn and we look for a much better showing (today).
conference hopefully past playing tournament
The postseason is very important for a young team. Even the conference tournament is important for us, to get (the players) that experience. Hopefully we're playing a little past that also.
coaches disrespect ground players program
When you've got a program that hasn't been tended to for 40 years - and that's not to disrespect any coaches or players or administrators - but a program that hasn't been tended to by the administration - then you've got a lot of ground to make up.
bench confidence hard kids minutes valuable work
Those were valuable minutes for everyone on the bench. Kids work hard and they want to play, and we need our bench to have confidence also.
crowd front fun game home kentucky playing positive remember whether
Whether it is your home crowd or an away crowd, it is fun playing in front of a lot of people. They will remember that Kentucky game and it will be something that they will use in a very positive way at Tennessee.
ball keeping proud shooting struggling tough
We're not shooting the ball very well right now. We're in a tough place right now, but I'm very proud of them for keeping their confidence. We're struggling to shoot the ball.
