beaten games guys help plays three winning
Those three guys have all made winning plays to help them win three games in a row. And those were games they could have all been beaten in.
deserved half number offensive played six sticks win
They played awfully well and deserved to win the game. The thing that sticks out, to me, is the number of offensive put-backs they had. They had way too many for us to win on the road. They got six of their baskets in the first half on put-backs.
accept kids positive
You can't have those on the road. I told our kids, we can't accept this. It's not something we should get used to. But there are some positive things.
playing reason team totally
This is a totally different team, so there is no reason to remember. This team was not part of that. That has nothing to do with us playing over there (tonight).
error free margin road small throws tough
It's tough to go on the road and not make your free throws and have unforced turnovers. Our margin of error is too small for that to happen.
basketball key mitchell
They're good. Darrel Mitchell is the key to that basketball team, though.
basketball beat quality team turn
It's obvious, you can't turn the basketball over as much as we did and beat a quality team like LSU.
against believe game glad success team win year
It's an important year for him, and I'm glad to see his team do well, believe it or not. To win every game every year, that's not going to happen. ... We've had a lot of success against them.
attitude basketball energy games kids losing makeup special start tells together
It was a special effort. For our kids to have the attitude and energy after losing some games when they're not used to it, it tells you a lot about the makeup of this basketball team. We put together 40 minutes, from start to finish.
comment lines shot
They shot 40, we shot 13. That's enough comment I can make. You can write in between the lines what you like.
difficult easily good kids miss quit team tonight took
This is a difficult thing we're going through. We're not used to this. The kids can very easily get down, quit working and have attitudes, but this team didn't do it. We took a very good Ole Miss team tonight and did something to them that no one's done to them.
continued good happen hard work
They've continued to work hard and good things happen to them.
coach harder kids rod team
There's no team in the country, anywhere, that a coach got their kids to play harder than Rod Barnes did.
hope lead teams turn
Our teams will turn it over. You just hope they don't lead to baskets.
