I was proud of my guys Saturday on a number of levels. Our kids played hard, they played tough but most of all they finished.

We've got to make sure we pick our guys back up and still be demanding, still be encouraging. Florida is having a great season.
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.
fighting fights-and-fighting guys honors tough
Those two guys are fighting for MVP honors right now. It's a tough combination.
expect georgia great guards guys momentum next step team time tournament
We have got great momentum going into the tournament now. We'll play these guys again, and I really think Georgia is a much better team than they showed today. I really expect their guards to step up in the tournament. Next time is going to be a lot tougher.
definitely four guys matter nba ronnie school senior situation stayed stays tim whether
Everybody's situation is different. If Tim Duncan stayed in school another four years it didn't matter what Tim Duncan did his senior season. I think there are some guys that are NBA guys... I think Ronnie is definitely a guy who could play in the NBA. It doesn't matter if he stays or whether he goes.
bothered definitely far guys inside physical tough toughness
There are some tough guys on this team. They're definitely getting there as far as physical play. It's bothered me that we haven't had that persona, but our inside guys are maturing. Rebounding is a toughness trademark.
continue exactly guys ronnie rule smart support toward wants work
This probably is a smart thing. Ronnie wants to play in the NBA, and this rule is made for guys like him. He wants to find out exactly where he is. We all support him. He'll continue to work toward his education.
bother guys maybe physical
They said (Georgia's physical play) didn't bother them, but maybe it did. We need those guys to play consistently.
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.
considered draft guys jeopardize knows order realm ronnie rule sure wants
He wants to play in the NBA. He knows that's a big part of his future. In order to do that the rule was specifically made for guys like him, guys who aren't really considered in that realm of a first-round draft pick. Ronnie is going to make sure he doesn't do anything to jeopardize his ability.
against experience guys incredible knew men might playing savvy solid
That might have been the whole thing right there, the incredible experience as well as the solid play and their savvy out on the court. It was like old men playing against young guys out there. They knew what they were doing. They never got rattled. They never got shaken.
defend four goes great guys held left shooting shot
Hey, we held them to 37-percent shooting -- that's great defense. You can say we didn't defend the 3, but about four were with 1 second, 2 seconds, left on the shot clock, guys on them and they get it off, and it goes in.
care charles expected friday game guys hill last practices ready respond saturday
Charles doesn't care if the game is physical. But some guys respond differently. I thought after our practices last Friday and Saturday that Hill and Townes were ready to play like All-Americans. That's what I expected to see Sunday, but it didn't happen.
