benefit calls doubt jump shooting
I think the way you play (affects the calls you get). If you're shooting a lot of jump shots, you're probably not going to get the benefit of the doubt with the whistle.
gave
I said, 'I'm going to give you one more chance,' and I gave him one more chance. And he responded.
played road team
Our team played very well at Alabama. That was one of our better road games. We could have made better choices. Where do we go from here? We go to Auburn and get a win.
beat early finish free question team teams throws
Our team can play with anybody. The question is, can we beat anybody? Other teams are going to make runs. We have to finish plays, make free throws and do the other things we were doing early in the season.
definitely game strength
Our strength has never been the three. We definitely want the game more in the paint.
felt good name till tv wait
I felt like we had done enough that we were going to be in, but it's always good to see your name on that board. I really didn't want to wait till the end of the TV program.
cost
If I say it, it will cost me.
balanced committee eight either feels matching ncaa teams terms truly upset winner
I don?t think it?s an upset either way. When you are paired up eight and nine, you are truly the two teams the NCAA Committee feels are balanced in terms of matching up that first day. The winner is going to win, and that?s the way it?s going to be.
area ball bit improve sean shot weak
I don?t think Sean shot the ball the way he can. He?s going to improve the 3-point area we were a little bit weak in this year.
clearly conference final four good instead league looks people team understand
I don't think people clearly understand how good our league is. We're the third-ranked conference in the country. We just aren't top-heavy. There's not someone that looks like a Final Four team right now, but someone could play their way into that. Instead of being top-heavy, we have a lot of good teams.
basketball helping
He was all over the place. So active. He's really helping our basketball team.
against average conference percent second shot team
We've been very consistent. No team has shot over 40 percent against us in conference play. We were right on our average here in the first half, and then they shellacked that in the second half.
arkansas behind bit week
We're probably a little bit behind where we thought we'd be, and we've got to play some catch-up. We've got this week right now to make Arkansas better, and that's what we're going to do.
continue ensure ncaa playing wins
We're playing well and we want to continue to do so. It's really important for us to get some wins to ensure a possibility of NCAA postseason play.
