against arena beat cheering contrast felt home imagine people potential program second teams tennessee time upset
(Sunday) was amazing. We upset LSU, but in contrast to that victory, there were about 20,000 people in the arena (Sunday) essentially cheering against you. ... It was my first time (beating Tennessee) and only the second time in program history. So you can imagine what that felt like for all of us. We beat two potential (NCAA) No.1 seeds, and we beat Tennessee on their home floor. That's huge. Not a lot of teams can say that.
again however
(The turnovers) were horrific, definitely. But we won. That's the most important point. However we get it done, we get it done. But we know we can't do it again and have the same result.
against beat came clearly confidence easy fired flat gotten learned paid supposed teams ugly wins
It's easy to get fired up for the big-time teams where you're clearly an underdog. We came out flat against teams we were supposed to beat and paid for it. I think we've gotten confidence from our big wins and learned from our ugly losses.
against carolina game intensity ready slack south tennessee
It's the SEC. You can't take a day off and you can't slack off and that shows. Against South Carolina and Auburn (both double-digit losses) we didn't have that same intensity as we did against Tennessee and LSU. You have to come out ready to go on game day. If you don't you're going to lose.
against composure focus knew needed team
We knew they were talented. We didn't come out with the focus and composure we needed against a team like that.
against cheering confident energy mentality people percent saw saying team tonight tougher won
When you have 20,000 people cheering against you, you find that energy somewhere, somehow. I think tonight you saw that mentality and mindset. The tougher team won tonight. I feel 100 percent confident in saying that.
beginning finish goal ncaa reach sat tournament
I'm not going to lie, we sat down at the beginning of the season, and we set a goal for ourselves. That goal was to reach the NCAA Tournament and finish top-five in the SEC.
stepped worry
When I stepped up there, I just told myself that I had to relax. I had to put myself in a different place and just not even worry about the score, not worry about anything.
doubt free mind relax shoot shooting stepped throw walked worry
When I stepped up there I just told myself I had to relax and not worry about anything and just go up there and shoot them like I had been. There wasn't a doubt in my mind I was going to make it. I walked up there like it was just shooting a free throw at practice.
tonight
Tonight sucked. Tonight was awful, to be honest.
confident percent saying team tougher won
The tougher team won (yesterday), and I feel 100 percent confident saying that.
although best definitely noise played position record talented team year
This is the best team I've played on. Mississippi State, although their record may not show it, they're a very talented team but still a team we should beat. I think this year we're definitely in position to make some noise at this tournament.
believe laugh
Now, it's not like a joke, but in a sense, it's something that we laugh about and can't believe that's what we went through.
best coach players saw team tells tonight
Coach always tells us it's not necessarily the team with the best players but the best team that wins. I think tonight you saw that. We don't have McDonald's All-Americans. We don't have All-Americans.
