The surgery went well. ... They don't think there's any type of concussion or anything like that, but where his status is for Sunday, I'm not really sure.
I don't think the score is indicative of how much they outplayed us in this game.
The surgery went well, but what his status is for Sunday, I'm not really sure right now.
It was a tale for us defensively where we weren't able to get enough rebounds and stops.
I want to see you get 15 rebounds just once.
I don't know if I've babied him or not. But it probably wasn't fair to evaluate him because he really was injured his first two years.
I laugh when people say they are better off without him. He is one of the most dominant frontline players in the SEC.
I'm very, very thankful. The NCAA Tournament to me, what's the lottery motto? You've got to be in it to win it.
They generally come out and say, Billy if you continue on, you're going to get one. It's very clear where you're at.
In the NCAA tournament, there are two things people love to see -- a Cinderella story and a team that is so powerful and explosive they look invincible.
I would say it's gone the other way with him. I'm not anticipating him back Saturday and I'm not anticipating Corey back at 100 percent right away. We're probably going to have to keep going through this for at least the next couple of games.
Kevin does a good job moving him around and creating shots. He's got a very good feel and he's a good, hard cutter.
If your point guard doesn't play great, generally your team's not flowing very well. It's just kind of the way it is.
Jo has been great. Sometimes the margin for winning and losing is so fragile.
