capable defending disrupt energy good guards moving stepping sure
I know their guards are good players. They are very capable of stepping up and making things happen. If we're focused, really defending and moving our feet, we can disrupt them. But we have to make sure we play at that energy level.
against good paying safety system understand win
I'm not paying the money. I understand the safety factor. We try, we have a good system in place, but there is only so much you can do. A win against a top-ranked team, at home, I probably would have jogged out there too.
bother days good grind mentality played shots tough
I've got this old Piston mentality of how they played in the old days and how they play now. Sometimes when those shots aren't falling, you can just grind out a win, just tough it out with rebounds, good defense. That doesn't bother me.

We tried to get after them defensively without Strawberry. McCray did a good job handling the pressure.

defensive florida game good half held man pick second steven using
With Florida you have got to pick a poison. I thought in the second half by using man where there was more one-on-one coverage, Steven (Hill) really held his own. I thought he had a really good game on the defensive end.
conference focused good practice practiced
You can tell it's Southeastern Conference time. For our first day of practice this week, we were focused and we practiced very hard. We had good camaraderie.
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.
battle early fighting fights-and-fighting good guys kept taken
I was taken aback by the way the guys just kept fighting and fighting. Early on, it didn't look good at all. All we could do was battle back, and we did that.
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.
basketball both coming continue game good helped job momentum protecting teams wins
It's an important, important game for both basketball teams. Both teams are coming off good wins that helped us both in a big way, and to continue that momentum for us would be real important. And protecting our home, obviously, is something we've done a good job at and we would like to continue to do so.
basketball challenge front good starting
We know we've got a big challenge in front of us. But we're starting to play very good basketball as well.

With this one, I think we can win three or four in a row and get on a good roll.

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.
