effort great
He's just made a concerted effort going to the boards. It's called him being a great player.
coast gets quick standstill
He gets them in so many different ways. He is as quick as Iverson with the ball, probably not from coast to coast, but from a standstill going to the basket, he is as quick.
coming kevin react ricky safety situations time
You want to put them in situations to see how they react under competition, with the referees, the crowd, time and score, fatigue, frustration, with no safety blanket. You don't have Kevin coming in, you don't have Ricky coming in. It's on you.
belief broke spirit together
I think all those together broke our spirit and our belief in each other.
coming confidence funny great losing position shoot starting sure
Confidence is a funny thing. You shoot great when you have it. I'm sure that's some of it, losing the starting position and then coming back. I'm sure that has a lot to do with it.
attack ripped telling took
He just ripped it through and took it to the basket. That is what we have been telling him to do, attack their feet.
betting career finishes
If I were a betting man, and I'm not, I would say he finishes his career there.
black changed coach early head minority remember totally university
I was early (in the program's integration). I can remember a lot of times (recognizing) that it was a big thing to be a minority at the University of Kentucky. But it's totally changed now. They've got a black head coach (Tubby Smith).
dress improve intentions race trying whatsoever
I don't think the commissioner had any race intentions whatsoever with the new dress code. I just think he's trying to improve the image.
couple guarded hit huge jason shots
Jason hit some huge shots. I don't know who could have guarded him on a couple of those shots he made.
deserved fun guys hope mockery
The guys were having fun with it. For what we've been through this season, I thought the guys deserved it. I hope what we did didn't make a mockery of the game.
effort good hit ray shots stretch tough until
I thought we had a good effort until about a two-minute stretch when Ray (Allen) just went crazy. He hit some tough shots and some tough threes.
happened lose ways
It happened so quick. We come up with different ways to lose it.

Eddie Griffin had a great game. He did an excellent job of protecting the paint and playing big.
