contagious dug lost ourselves streak winning
It would be a big boost. We lost the first two and dug ourselves a hole. Winning is contagious. We want to get on a contagious winning streak as we go down the stretch.
bad finds game gas himself picture point pure rest time turn turns ways
As for a pure point guard, there is a picture of Ronald Steele in the dictionary. He can turn it on and turn it off, and he never turns it off at a bad time. He finds ways during the game to rest himself and when it's time at the end of the game to take it over, he's still got the gas in his tank.
best fans games gave looking somebody
Awesome! Somebody is looking over us. We never gave up. One of the best games I've ever been a part of. The fans were incredible.
difficult energy high second sure team
Auburn is a difficult team to play because they have so many different defenses. We wanted to make sure we had a high energy level. I thought we responded pretty well in the second half.
basket kept remember threw underneath wish
That was a big play. I remember it because it was right underneath our basket and he threw it out of there. I wish he could have kept it in play, but we'll take the block.
balance complement difficult easy floor guys offensive players running step themselves
On different nights, different guys step up for them. Their players complement each other very well. They get themselves easy baskets by running the floor and off offensive rebounds. They don't take a lot of difficult shots, and when they do, they balance it with easy shots.
came clock five great players seconds shot six time top
The thing that got them over the top was Rondo's penetration. Time after time, where the shot clock was winding down with five or six seconds to go, he came up with the play. That's what great players do.
battle great key special sure tennessee turn
Tennessee is a great team. They are having a special season. The key is it will be a battle of possessions. We have to make sure we don't turn it over too much and that we rebound. We have to go there like we're on a mission.
fun humble impact kid points ronnie scores team trying value whether
Ronnie understands that his value to our team is not just in scoring. He's still an impact guy, whether he scores 20 points or 10. He's a humble kid who is trying to get better, and fun to coach.
aggressive nature ronnie team unselfish
Ronnie has an unselfish nature. But we need him to still be aggressive (on offense). You can't let the other team take you away.
guy plays steps typical unexpected
That's kind of typical (for UK), that unexpected guy who steps up and plays well.
game goes last prepared rough start three win
The start is a key. We have to be prepared for a rough game that goes down to the last two or three possessions and find a way to win it.
adversity definition sure tough
If we didn't know the definition of adversity before, I'm sure we know it now. (The loss) was tough to swallow.
earn good job steven work
McNaughton is a handful. Steven is going to have to make him earn everything. He's going to have to do a good job of making him work to get his points.
