games incredible kids south
Those kids are hurting. That was an incredible effort. I have never experienced games like this where they just go south on you in different ways.
continue games home hopefully win
We want to continue to play well and hopefully win on the road. From now on, there are no more home games and all games are on the road.
games guys hard knew lost played
I knew we had lost two games by not very much, but played hard doing it. I told the guys I wanted them to play hard, but I also told them to have fun.
games protect
It's important for us to protect home. I know I say that a lot, but it is important. We have 14 (SEC) games left, but this is the most important one.

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.
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.
focused games hard minutes worry
It's just one of those games that it's hard to get out of your mind. More importantly, for 40 minutes we were focused on Auburn and we didn't worry about that.
missing needs reluctant steven worry
There are a lot of things Steven can do, but he's reluctant to do them in games. He needs to not worry about missing shots.
aware ball block free game knocked late mental mistakes throws
When you don?t block out on free throws and have the ball knocked away from you late in the game, it?s tough. You have to be aware of who is around you. We made too many mental mistakes late in the game to win.
ability average chicago great highly points public school speaks
To average 34 points in a Chicago public school league, which has great competition, speaks highly of his ability.
confident consistent guy late spot stretch terms
We just haven't had the consistent play at that spot and it's been something that's hindered us, especially late in the game, in terms of having a guy who is comfortable and confident down the stretch to make plays.
carry clearly confidence defensive job momentum offensive plays shown
We've clearly shown that we're a lot better making defensive and offensive plays down the stretch. We're doing a much better job now. That confidence and momentum should carry us.
fighting fights-and-fighting guys honors tough
Those two guys are fighting for MVP honors right now. It's a tough combination.
few identified late players
We identified a few players late and we really feel like we got the player we wanted.
