beat defense game together total
We put a total game together on defense and offense. We guarded. We didn't get beat off the dribble, and we neutralized the post.
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.
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).
bench both couple game last miss needed plays reflected special together total
For the last couple weeks, I thought we were getting better, even if it wasn't reflected in the win-loss column. We put a total game together tonight, both offensively and defensively. We needed our bench to play, because Ole Miss plays a lot of guys. We had a special effort.
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.
bit richard swagger
That was huge. Richard had a little bit of his swagger back tonight.
