ahead finals helped last looking loss motivated pain past team year
I think last year's loss in the finals has helped this team with our focus. The pain of last year has really motivated this team, and I don't think you'll see us looking ahead or past any team.
care happy remain taking wins work
I'm really happy with the way we all competed and if we remain confident, work on little things like taking care of our own end, then wins will come.
flying glass normally whatever
They (Western) were just flying to the glass and that's normally how we play. For whatever reason, we didn't get after it like I thought we would.
bad game given offensive rebounds
Twenty-two offensive rebounds has to be the most we've given up all year. Hopefully, we got our bad game out of the way.
accident grind
Everything's kind of on a shoestring. All you need is one accident to grind everything to a halt.
ball continue needed shoot
If they continue to shoot the ball the way they did, they'll go a long way in this tournament. We needed them to have an off night. They didn't.
continue work
No one is getting discouraged and we'll continue to work hard.
affected carried last loss motivated past tournament win
Last year's loss was so devastating, I think it's carried on to this season. I don't think it's affected us, but it's motivated us. The only way to get past that loss completely is to win the tournament this year.
cheers
We'll take the cheers while we can get them.
ball beat defense good team turn
We battled and battled, but when you turn the ball over 24 times you're not going to beat a good team on the road. Our defense was good enough to win.
happen
It's going to happen someday. I told our guys, why not us and why not this year?
beat believe game memphis understand
They're focused. The more important thing, they're confident. They really believe they can beat Memphis. Now we understand we have to play a near-perfect game and Memphis has to be a little off their game. If that happens, why not.
crunch four game glass job last lose nice stupid three time win
It was encouraging that we did a nice job on the glass but at the same time when you get to crunch time, those (mistakes) are the things that win you the game or lose you the game. We just had stupid turnovers the last three or four minutes.
hope nation support
I hope Razorback Nation will support an old Arkansan.
