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 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.
beat definitely focused game home knew potential tennessee
We beat two potential No. 1 seeds, and beat Tennessee on their home floor. That's huge. That was something we definitely focused on. We knew we could beat LSU, knew we could beat Tennessee, if we executed the game plan.
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.
coming game giving jersey matter teams tennessee
Teams come in and see Tennessee on the jersey and fold. The game is over before it even starts. It's a matter of coming out and giving it everything you've got, and that's what we did.
confident percent saying team tougher won
The tougher team won (yesterday), and I feel 100 percent confident saying that.
doubt finish goal mind rest run table though watching
I think realistically our goal is to finish .500 (in the conference). At the same moment, I don't think there's a doubt in anyone's mind we can run the table in the rest of these games. Even though we play LSU and Tennessee, just watching film on them, they're very beatable.
games hype people played position successful win
We haven't had all the hype and we haven't had the McDonald's All-Americans and the All-Americans. But we have 12 people who have really played for each other day in and day out, and I think that is what has made us so successful and has put us in position to win games like LSU and Tennessee.
box effort extra playing since
Since we do play a match-up you have to go make the extra effort to go and find a person to box out. It's not like you're playing man-to-man and there's a person right there to box out.
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.
tonight
Tonight sucked. Tonight was awful, to be honest.
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.
arkansas favor tougher
It's also in our favor that Arkansas and Vanderbilt have tougher schedules.
