allow cannot coached coaching distract happen happened reflect time today win
I coached today like I always coach. I was coaching to win and that is what I am going to do. I will reflect on what has happened after this is all over. I don't have time for that right now. We cannot allow what has happened or what will happen distract from what we are doing.
beat game gone great home last opportunity places played time winning
We've just gone to two places and got beat pretty badly. We go back home, the last time we were at home we played a great game. We're one game away from a regular-season winning season, and that's something we haven't done (since 2002). We get the opportunity to do that Saturday.
country maybe men playing wing
Those two are probably playing as well as any two wing men in the league, and maybe in the country.

It's time to get back up and get started back to work. We will look to pull out another win and this is our first opportunity to get that win.
determination games tournament win
We were in a tournament with all of our guys. All of a sudden, we come back and ... we're determined. We win 27 games (in 2000-01).
easily forward lost row steps though three win won
We won three in a row, we lost three in a row and we can very easily win three in a row again. What we can't do is take steps back. Even though we didn't win, we made a step forward today.
change concerned counts focused guy job learn perception season situation stays whether win winning
You're always concerned and I'm concerned about our kids. But you know, let's win. And not win to change anybody's perception of what my job situation is. I've just always been a guy that, when I set goals, stays focused on accomplishing it. I still see that winning season out there. All the other things, whether I'm going to be back, all that, you just learn that all that counts is Saturday.
advantage exciting freshman game given intense means sleep sophomore taking wants win
He's been given more opportunities and he's taking advantage of that. So it will be exciting for him to go back, but I don't think it means as much as his freshman and sophomore year. I think it's big to him, but it's not like he's not going to sleep before the game or be all intense about it. He wants to win because I think Bam just wants to win.
concerned focus miss trying win
I'm concerned about these kids. My focus is trying to get a win for Ole Miss and these kids.

We just make a phone call to the construction sites to make sure to water down the area.
built care passive press realized settled tough
We were passive in the first half, and they were aggressive. After they built their lead, we settled down and realized it is not as tough of a press if we take care of the ball.
came confidence easy great lacking missed shots
We missed some easy shots and had great opportunities and came up short. Obviously, we're lacking some confidence.
ball cause changed good lack last played teams turned
We changed our lineup in the last game. We turned the ball over way too much. I think we've played good teams that cause turnovers, but we've started to lack in confidence.
admire close gone guy handled stayed
Dwayne was close to his brother, but he's handled himself. He has stayed strong. I admire the guy because there's no way I could've gone through what he's gone through.
