against experience guys incredible knew men might playing savvy solid
That might have been the whole thing right there, the incredible experience as well as the solid play and their savvy out on the court. It was like old men playing against young guys out there. They knew what they were doing. They never got rattled. They never got shaken.
guard happy point shake
I'll probably shake some things up. I wasn't happy with our play at the point guard spot.
felt home ncaa pressure wants
I know as much pressure as I've felt (to get to the NCAA tournament), they've felt the same amount. I know how important that is for Eric, but Jonathon, being from Arkansas, he wants to do it for his home state.
commitment credit deserve good hope kids seniors special three
I hope it's a really special night. All three of our seniors are good kids and they've done a lot. I think they deserve a lot of credit for their perseverance, commitment and character.
I really don't know what Tubby told them at halftime, but they were a completely different team.
certainly second team
I really don?t know what Tubby told them at halftime. But that certainly was a different team in the second half.
came thankful
I'm thankful for our fans. The ones who came made a difference.
aggressive forcing great half luxury nice second
I like the way he played. In the second half he was forcing an aggressive tempo. He did a nice job. He's a great luxury to have.
certainly chew minutes playing unless
I may not play him 35 minutes unless we need to. But I certainly am not going to let him take the day off. And I'm going to chew on him if he's not playing good.
close continue leave ncaa season selected today tournament
If (the NCAA tournament teams) were selected today I think we'd be in. But there's still no guarantees. We have to continue to play well and close out the season the right way and not leave everything to chance.
close games similar situations
They've had some similar situations that we've had. They've had some close games that didn't go their way.
instead pass
Instead of making a 50-50 pass in transition, we want it to be a 75-25 opportunity.
defend four goes great guys held left shooting shot
Hey, we held them to 37-percent shooting -- that's great defense. You can say we didn't defend the 3, but about four were with 1 second, 2 seconds, left on the shot clock, guys on them and they get it off, and it goes in.
prayers
I don't know if this was a must win. But I know my prayers were answered.
