careless couple game played smart won
I thought we had the game won on a couple of occasions. I don't think we played real smart down the stretch. We had some really careless turnovers uncharacteristic of how we've been playing.
davis hit kinds played plays season
We played really well in overtime, but the 3 that Glen Davis hit was really something special. You've got to have those kinds of plays when you have the kind of season that we've had.
adjustment dave kevin played since starting
Kevin is very comfortable on the court. He's been starting since he was a freshman. Dave and Brent played well for us, but it's an adjustment for them.
against arkansas bad close decided either games good home lost played points south team three
Unfortunately they've lost some close games, but I don't look at a team as good or bad if two or three games were decided by three points either way. Arkansas played really well at home against South Carolina, and we'll have to be much better than we were against Alabama.
judgments later ought played reserve statements twelve
Let's be honest, what are we? Twelve and five? We've played 17 games. I think we ought to reserve those kind of judgments and statements to much later down the road.
assigned friday liked lucky played preferred simply
I would have preferred to have played Friday simply because of Tyrus Thomas, but we weren't lucky enough to be assigned to a Friday game. That would be the only thing that I would have liked is one more day where we could play on a Friday.
against effort fly good happy hard overall played talented team
We played hard all night. I thought we did some very good things on the fly against a talented team tonight. I am happy with the overall effort that we gave.
against credit defense defensive good performance played year
We played good defense all year long and we got a lot of credit for it against Duke. We had to have another defensive performance tonight.
coming good next played team tv washington
I wanted to play a good team from a different region. It's a TV game. We played at Connecticut this year, and we're going to play them at our place next year. After this one, Washington is coming to our place.
played stepped
You could see tonight, without Tyrus, he stepped up his game, particularly offensively, and really played well for us.
defended eight last ok seven until
I thought we had Steele defended OK until the last seven or eight minutes.
finish game kindness playing quit win
I think we kind of quit playing to win and (started) playing not to lose. We had it going. We just didn't finish it off. It's a game we let go.
letting loving players serious team wrong
I thought our team was being who it is, outgoing, fun, but loving and serious when they need to be. From some of the backgrounds that our players are from, there's nothing wrong with letting out the emotion.
casual game looking maybe ohio start state team
I thought our team was a little casual to start the game and didn't play with a lot of enthusiasm. Maybe they were looking back on the Ohio State game and anticipating what we're doing on Saturday.
