chances hurts shot
I just wasn't hitting. My shot was off. When my shot is off, it hurts my chances of scoring, and that's what happened.
bad couple guess took
I guess you could say we took a couple of bad shots.
beaten fourth guess people telling time
I guess this is big. People have been telling me it's big. It's only the fourth time we've beaten them here.
believe coach
He's the kind of coach that makes you believe you can win.
finally fired kept
I kept shooting. Finally one went in for me. I didn't see the goal. I just fired it up there.
basketball coming fun home playing special win
It is real special coming back to my home state, but this is not my home. Home is Maysville. It is just another game, just another win in the SEC. I am just having fun playing basketball at Tennessee.
limiting physical playing stuff teams touches trying
They just weren't going in today, you know? Teams are playing a lot more physical and limiting my touches and trying to make me do stuff I don't want to do.
felt good
It was a good look, but he was all up on me. It still felt good.
until
I've got to have rings. If you want me to be happy, I want a championship. That's when I'll be happy. Until then, I'm not happy.
capable level
There's another level we need to get to, and I think we're capable of getting to that level. We're going to need it, because it doesn't get any easier.
flow forcing game shoot solve
You've got to be careful. Forcing things doesn't really solve the problem. You've got to let the game come to you and shoot in the flow of the offense.
ball catch coming continuing easy harder main move moving standing
I'm focused, and I'm ready. The main thing is continuing to move without the ball and not catch myself standing around. When I'm standing around, I'm easy to guard. But when I'm moving and coming off screens, I'm harder to guard.
against beginning cost
At the beginning of the game, they really put it on us and that cost us. We can't do that against Florida, or they'll do the same thing to us.
You can get us down, but we're never going to quit.
