doubt hard last particular team wins
It would have been really hard to be 0-3 at this particular time, no doubt about it. They were tense. They wanted those last two wins and we didn't get them. But this team now, I think, will feel better about itself.
against capable fall hard knew missed played shots
We played hard in the two losses, but we missed some shots that I knew we were capable of making. We got those shots to fall against Vanderbilt.
defense free good hard job road three win
Hard to win on the road when it's 33-to-9 at the line. Hard to win when you think you do a good job on defense and they end up with three free throws.
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.
ability available both deep ends excited exciting game good guard hard joining late player plays range shooter
To have a player of Patrick's ability available this late in the game is rare. We are very excited about him joining our team. He's an exciting player. He plays hard on both ends of the court. He's a very good shooter with deep range and he has the ability to play both guard positions.
credit cutting hand hard hot knowing riding teammates
He was cutting and moving, and he was hard to guard. Give his teammates some credit too for knowing that he had a hot hand and riding him out. We just jumped on his back.
bounce coaches hard
He has to bounce back, be competitive and tough. He has to know he will never be perfect. The coaches aren't perfect. That was a hard play.
best centers chris country defensive earned face hard kid played shot shutting somebody steven team ways
He is a handful. Chris has played very well in most of their big games. I feel in some ways that I've got one of the best defensive centers in the country in my team in Steven Hill. I know Chris is going to be hard to stop, but he's going to face a kid that relishes defense, relishes shot blocking, relishes shutting somebody down. And if he (Chris) does well, it's going to be because he earned it.
defense hard minutes urgency
If he responds, great. If he doesn't, those minutes are going to be hard to get. We can't play defense without urgency and tough-mindedness.
available brings chemistry ending four guys hard positive
I'm going to look hard at the chemistry someone brings from the other four guys on the court. I still see a positive ending available to this team, but we have to do our part.
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.
good handling job tried
We tried to get after them defensively without Strawberry. McCray did a good job handling the pressure.

break couple days game heart hungry job next sacrifices talked
We talked about how much the game hurt, but we don't want it to break their confidence. The next couple of days we have to find out how hungry we are. Are they going to make sacrifices and put their heart out there to get the job done?
