Every time he steps on the court, he's the focal point. Everything starts with him.
We've been playing a lot of so-called small ball here lately. It's going to be very difficult to pull that off against Arkansas.
We just wanted to make sure that we kept great pressure on them. We made sure we put them in situations that they had to make plays. We did not allow them to get into any sort of rhythm. It played a major role in why they shot the percentage they shot.
When a man forgets his ideals, he may hope for happiness, but not till then
We moved the ball and got the shots we wanted. In the first half, we didn't move the ball as well and that was the difference.
We had the ball inside and they took it from us. Pops had a couple of shots inside -- dunks he usually makes and he missed them. That really affected our shooting percentage. A large part of that had to do with their defense.
We showed toughness down the stretch. We had to pick up our defense. I think that was one of the very few games where our experience really paid off for us.
We are anticipating that he will be back within a couple weeks.
We are going to continue to play the way we have been. It's a great opportunity for some guys to step up. ... I think they will respond to the challenge.
We went through probably about 12 minutes where we couldn't score a basket. That's still an area of concern and where we have to improve.
We were scheduled to leave on Sunday morning, and they gave us all of these warnings. They said there was a good chance that our flight would be canceled.
We were very, very fortunate to win the game. We made some tough 3s down the stretch, and we were able to get one or two key turnovers, and I thought that was the only difference in the game.
We have food, ham chips, drinks, anything needed to sustain life. We were here when it hit. We had never been in a hurricane. It was an eye-opening experience. It was a shock.
I'd be concerned about his handicap mark. He could run well against very good horses without winning, and for the sake of showing he isn't good enough to run in a Gold Cup, we could mess up his chance to win a big handicap.
