There's no team in the country, anywhere, that a coach got their kids to play harder than Rod Barnes did.

We're playing hard out there, and that is the thing you have to do when things aren't going your way. There are just some things that we have a deficiency in, and all we can do is keep plugging away and getting better in those areas.

They've continued to work hard and good things happen to them.
best hardest needs player realized responsibility
He had to play into this role. There's a lot of responsibility that comes with (it). Your best player needs to be your hardest worker. Once he realized that, he's been more consistent.
anyone beating chemistry harder key last
I don't know it they're harder to guard, but they have better chemistry (than last season). I don't have the key (to beating them). They are 15-0. I don't think anyone has the key.

Georgia plays hard and has a lot of perimeter depth. They have a lot of big bodies on the inside, and they've been in most games everywhere they've played.

Our teams will turn it over. You just hope they don't lead to baskets.

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 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.

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.

That was very important. It was huge for our basketball team, being so young, to go in with the lead.

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.
