experience gained last needs team time
He's a load. They've gained some experience in the last two years, and Curtis is a presence. We're still a team in progress. Our cohesiveness is not where it needs to be, this time of the year.
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.
game needs opens versatile
Reggie needs to not always look for the 3-pointer. He's got to play off that dribble, take it to the hole, which he's done more lately. A mid-range game opens up the 3-point shot. It makes him a more versatile player. And he needs to be a screener, because screeners get open. But it's getting better.
anybody knows wait
The new (NIT) criteria, I don't know if anybody knows what it is. We'll have to wait and see.
check problem rumors
(The NCAA) has a right to check into any rumors they want. We've been here for 16 years and have never had a problem with anything.
four needed stepping three
I needed more than one. When they got three or four stepping up, I needed more than one.
coming game good knew lawrence obvious quite
It's very obvious that we're not quite as good without Lawrence Roberts. But we knew coming into this game that we didn't have him, so we can't make any excuse.
duke seemed successful though
It seemed like every big play that had to be made down the stretch, Duke made those plays. That's why they've been so successful though the years.
coming couple kentucky playing row struggling time tough win won
Any time you play Kentucky it's never easy. They are coming off a big win and are playing with a lot of confidence. They've won a couple in a row and they know that we are struggling right now. But it is always tough playing Kentucky.
arkansas emotion emotions senior
Arkansas will have a lot of emotion on Senior Night, so we better have some poise.
america anybody expected hottest teams
They are one of the hottest teams in America. I don't think anybody expected them to be where they are right now.
george good mason special understood
We all understood how good George Mason is. For us to have a chance, it would take a special effort. We got a special effort.
game next played somebody special urgency
Urgency is the next game, and the next game was Ole Miss. If it had been somebody else, would we have played that hard? I don't know. But tonight, there was a special effort, and we had to have a special effort.
guy responsibility
We had a guy who was dominant. The more responsibility we've put on (Rhodes), the more he's accepted.
