team littles swagger
The best teams I've had had a little bit of swagger.
basketball winning helping
What do you do to help us win when you're not scoring baskets?
winning games people
A great defensive effort. The one thing we have to do is make it hard for people to beat us. We're not worried about winning and losing, we just have to make the game hard
basketball play teammate
What type of teammates do you want to play with? Be that teammate yourself

The biggest day in the history of Kentucky's program.

There is a star born in every one of these games, and today it was Andre Allen.

When you beat a team on a 10-game win streak, that's a great win. We had chances to get it to 16, 18, 20 and we're just not capable of it yet.
build change players state teams trying
When you're trying to build or change a culture, what do you do? I always say you take players from state championship teams because they only know one thing, winning.
