couple happens looking older ready team
I know a couple years ago when we were there, we were kind of starry-eyed. ...We've got an older team now, and we've got a team that I don't think is going to be looking around the arena. We're going to go there hungry, we're going to go there ready to play and we'll see what happens from there.
florida marquee missing team turn win
I like our chances. I always thought all this team was missing was one big win, and we got that marquee win over Florida to turn things around.
destiny focused front knowing team trying
I'm really trying to keep our team focused on what's in front of us. Knowing that we still have destiny in our control. We still have it in our hands.
affect ask banner both dual falls forward game head john looking player playing rose switch thorn vote year
I'm looking forward to not playing Darrel Mitchell. He's been a thorn in our side. He dunks, falls on his head and comes back and plays. Every year his game has rose up another level. When you switch a player to a new position, you never know how it's going to affect him. It hasn't. It's made him a dual threat. He's had a banner year. If I were to vote for an MVP of the league, I'd go with one (Mitchell) or the other (Davis). I'd ask John which one. Both are dynamite.

I'm tired of free throw situations where we're supposed to be getting those rebounds and we're getting pushed underneath the basket and we're not getting them. And a lot of times he's the culprit. It just isn't acceptable.
chance free gave rebounds situations six throw tired
I?m tired of free throw situations where we?re not getting the rebound. And he?s been a culprit. But in fairness, he had six rebounds today. I gave him one more chance and he responded.
consistency looking mean production solid
I'm looking for consistency. I'm looking for solid production -- and that doesn't necessarily mean scoring.

I'm just really proud of our team for not breaking under the Florida pressure. We may have bent a little bit, but we held strong.

All of our energy and focus is now on the 2007 class.
