difficult hate leading obvious
I hate it for him. And it's made it more difficult for us. It's obvious he would've been our leading scorer. But some things, you can't help.
challenge difficult home seem similar
We know Auburn is similar to us in a lot of ways. They're so much better at home than on the road. At home, they seem to be able to be in the game. We know it'll be a difficult challenge for us.
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.
difficult experience gains good leadership players providing
The pluses are that (Gordon) is a good player. He is going to be one of the better players in the league. If he gains more experience he will be really good, he has had some difficult times and has been providing good leadership as a freshman.
ball beat chance difficult shoot shoots shot
When they shoot the ball they have a chance to beat anybody. When Kelley shoots it the way Kelley shot it tonight, they're very difficult to beat.
hope lead teams turn
Our teams will turn it over. You just hope they don't lead to baskets.
anybody basketball bruce expected job tremendous
Bruce has done a tremendous job with this basketball team. I don't think anybody expected them to be where they are right now.
both future good men wish work
Both young men are good people, but unfortunately things just didn't work out for them here. We wish them both well in their future endeavors.
gotten though took understand understood
Even though we hadn't won, we've gotten better. We all understood we had some deficiencies in some areas. We understand we had to battle. We've gotten better. Tonight, we took another step.
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.
basketball huge
That was very important. It was huge for our basketball team, being so young, to go in with the lead.
basketball florida presents proud team
I was proud of our team's effort. The Florida basketball team presents many problems.
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.
