advantage against came careless depth force inside instead moving size
I thought we were careless at times tonight, and I don't know where that came from. We wanted to take advantage of our size and depth inside against this team, and we tended to force things instead of moving the ball.
concerned game strong
I was concerned about this game because I know how strong Auburn is defensively.
basketball defense five held helps job last nice percent rebound shooting teams
I thought we did a nice job on the boards, and I thought our defense was solid. We have held our last five teams under 35 percent shooting and then when you rebound the basketball like we did, it helps you to be successful.
extremely game great half job role second stopped unselfish until
Her role in this game was to go offensively until they stopped her. She did a great job of that in the first half and was extremely unselfish in the second half.
ball team turn understand
You have opportunities and you turn the ball over ... we're better than that. One thing our team is working to understand is a little more of a sense of urgency, a little more aggressiveness without hurrying.
ball easy ended hold home pass run score tried turn turning worked
We had opportunities and we turn the ball over and we're better than that. We worked to not hold the ball for so long because it strengthens the defense. Sometimes in those stretches, we tried to make the home run pass for the easy score but ended up turning it over.
basketball defensive nice night solid step strengths team
We were able to take Arkansas' strengths away from them, and it was really a solid all around defensive effort. The nice thing about our basketball team is you are going to have a different person step up on any night of the week.
believed win
Honestly, I believed we could win this game.
against almost chess defensive instead match mentality playing solid teams zone
In the SEC, we're playing against teams that are very solid defensively. It's almost like a defensive chess match out there. I'd like to see us play with a little more patience. When we see a zone defense, we have the mentality to set-up offensively instead of attack. We need to play with more of a sense of urgency.

I'm excited for our kids because they are going to get to experience post-season basketball. They have worked hard for the opportunity to play in March and I am happy to see them in a position to be rewarded for that. With as many players as we have coming back, this is valuable experience.

I like being the bubble team. If the NCAA committee will look at our last 10 games, I think we have a very good chance to get in.

I hope the NCAA will take a good, hard look at our team. You are going to have days when you do not have good games. We had one of those today.
advance basketball far finish focus formula half mean ncaa top tournament winning
If you can finish in the top half of the SEC ... and get into the tournament then you'll usually advance pretty far into it. Our focus has been that ... we know that there is a formula to getting to the NCAA tournament, and that doesn't mean winning every basketball game.
confidence schedule teams tough weather
Not many teams have to come out and play No. 1 and No. 3 and then play on the road. We have confidence in this team. They've got to weather the tough part of this schedule mentally.
