ball came further morris season shoot struggles time
Randolph Morris has to be more and more comfortable every time he plays. The further into the season he gets, I think he'll be better and better. The other thing is that I think a lot of Kentucky's struggles came because they did not shoot the ball the way they were capable.
ball shot sparks
Sparks ... shot the ball from the Rupp Museum.
ball defense growing improved scoring shooting vocal
Not only is (Day) shooting the ball well and scoring well, his defense has improved and he is more vocal and more confident. I think he is not only growing as a player, he is growing as a person.
college guess low michigan points score stop style styles wants whether
I think we know how Michigan wants to play style-wise, but can we stop them - I don't know. In college basketball, it is always about style and how styles contrast. My guess is that it is going to be low scoring. We are not going to give up a lot of points. Whether we score enough points to win, I don't know.

When we've played well, he's done well. But some times he gets in there and gets tied up.

Three games going now we've turned it over a total of 22 times. As much as anything other than the wins themselves I'm very proud of that.
bench difference guy lurks trouble
We're really right where we were at most of the year. The difference being, when trouble comes, and it will, we don't have a bench to go to if the trouble lurks in the post. We don't have a big guy to go to.

We stood up to the challenge. We played very well. We did not play well enough to win.
excited opportunity special
We make no apologies about being here. We look at it as a special opportunity and we're excited about it.
