good magical speeches team
Our team is not very good right now. It's been one thing after another with us. There's no magical speeches after that game.
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.
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.
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.
difference past regroup sitting team
We've had to regroup in the past. The difference between that is we're having to regroup with a young team. It's not like we're sitting around with a team that has expectations, or a team that has experience. You're going to get better in some areas, but I know it's going to be hard.
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.
left possibly
We left everything we possibly could on the floor.
decide start wait
We wait to get down 20, get embarrassed, before we decide to start playing.
game guys media streak team totally year
I don't get into the streak that much. I think that's more for you guys in the media, and the fans. It's all game to game, year to year. Different teams. We're a totally different team than we've had in the past.
contagious four games gets kentucky kids shooting
I don't know why (Kentucky's) kids make shots. Shooting gets contagious, and Kentucky has started getting contagious four games ago.
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.
