I want the ball in my hands at the end of the game. I want to make something happen.
Talking to the doctor helped us a lot. We got a lot of stuff off our chests. A lot of guys were holding things inside, and we were all frustrated. We cleared a lot of things up.
We know nothing is guaranteed, so we've got to go to the SEC Tournament and put on a good show.

They're a great team, and we gave it everything we've got. Nobody regrets the way we played. We fought all the way until the end.
A big key to the game was handling their pressure, especially because we weren't shooting the ball well. We were able to break their press with patience and we didn't get into the up-tempo game that they wanted. We pushed the ball, but only when we wanted to.
Bad. We're not communicating on defense. In the film against Indiana, they shot the ball well. But that was partly our fault too because we didn't get a lot of contests on their shots and we didn't keep it out of the post.
That was a big key. We broke their pressure with patience. They didn't make us play up-tempo like they wanted.
That's what we don't have right now. I think a lot of guys are down right now, but we've got to stay positive. It's a long season.
That should help us. We've played against it.
Coach Smith has given me tough love, which I believe has made me a stronger ballplayer and a better person.
Coach told us before the game that he was going to be a different person. He told us he was going back to his old way of coaching.
They were just happy for me to make a free throw.
He said I brought it over. I'd been doing it the whole game.
