beat came court knew
We knew we were going to beat Ole Miss. They came on the court talking, but we knew better.
beaten games talking
All games are big, but you could tell this one was going to be a little bigger. They (Ole Miss) were out there talking about how they had already beaten us and all of that. Not this time.
played
We should've played like that from the jump.
ended habit losing
This won't be a habit for us. It's over. It's done. All that losing ended today.
background turning
From the background we've had, we're not used to losing. But we see the progress. We see it turning around.
deal easier knowing won
We could've won that game. That makes it easier to deal with, knowing that.
hang lose seem tv
They always seem to put us on TV when we play (Alabama). They probably think we're going to lose by 49 again. But man, we got to hang in there.
kinds knocked open running somebody time
They knocked down shots, open shots, with somebody in their face, with time running down. They knocked down all kinds of shots.
ashamed coach fuss
Coach was so mad, he didn't even fuss at us. We were ashamed at ourselves.
stop
We thought we could win. We started executing, slowed it down, got on a little run. Then we couldn't stop them from scoring.
great knew
We knew they were going to make runs. They've got great 3-point shooters. All of the sudden, it's up to 20 points.
basketball care force pass
I had to take care of the basketball and not force things. When it's there, take it. When it's not, pass it out.
mentally mindset next ok ready work
I don't think most of us are mentally ready (for the NIT). The mindset is 'it's over, let's just work on next year.' I'm ok with that.
changes holding hope men rest
I hope this ain't the lineup for the rest of the season. I can't be holding down 4 men (power forwards). I'm too little. There will probably be more changes by Saturday.
