best team weeks
I said two weeks ago they are the best team in the country.
fight fighting games home kids lives three trying
Our kids understand. They know where we're at. We've got three home games left, and two games on the road. We're just trying to fight to get better. They're fighting for their lives every game.
came charles energy half kids played plays second
I thought our kids came out the second half and played at that other energy level. We made a lot of plays for Charles Rhodes.
approach forget game whether wish
I wish we could just forget that first half. But we have to approach every game the same, whether we are 1-7 or 7-1. It's a 16-game season.
forget separate wish
I wish we could just forget about the first half. Unfortunately, we can't separate it that much.
close miss seems state won
When State and Ole Miss play, it's always a battle. It always seems to be a close game. They won the first game. We have to find a way to play better here at home.
ability notch second turned
We jumped out on a 16-0 run, but I thought it was our ability to defend, too. We turned it up a notch defensively in the second half.
beat defense game together total
We put a total game together on defense and offense. We guarded. We didn't get beat off the dribble, and we neutralized the post.
call compliance office received tickets
When we received the call that he wanted tickets to a game, we went right to the MSU compliance office. It was all approved. That's why we did it.
hurt plays youthful
Those kind of plays hurt, especially as youthful as we are.
basketball forward good looking playing
It's going to be difficult. We're going to play a really good basketball team. But we're looking forward to playing them.
approach broken consistent focus games season sounds
It sounds like an old, broken record, but it's a 16-game season and I know it's a little different being 1-7 at this point, but you can't approach games that way. The only way you can be consistent in the way you approach things is to keep the focus on working hard.
finds sounds
It sounds crazy. But he finds a way to get it up in there.
anybody knows wait
The new (NIT) criteria, I don't know if anybody knows what it is. We'll have to wait and see.
