capable climb excuse played resume together win
We've got to come together and climb out of this hole. There's really no excuse for the way we played. We really need this resume win over Florida. If we come out and play like we've played at home, we are capable of doing that.
aggressive bull fans loyal pit
Our fans are like a pit bull. They're loving, loyal people, but they can also be very aggressive and nasty. I own a pit bull (named Randy).
bad coach defender grab heath knows maybe shot
I thought maybe the defender would grab my arm. He didn't. But coach (Stan) Heath didn't say anything. He knows I'm going to take a bad shot every once in awhile.
aggressive ball
We were more aggressive and got the ball to the interior.
forth four lose mean ourselves past three trying weeks
That would mean a lot. These past three or four weeks we've been going back and forth trying to get ourselves at. 500 and then we'd lose, then get back to. 500 and then lose again. I think it would do a lot for us.
gotten people talented
I think people think we are very talented but haven't gotten over the hump, but I think we have now. I think we showed that tonight.
ball crunch definitely leading ronnie
We always look to get Ronnie the ball. He's the leading scorer in the SEC, so we definitely feel like we should give him the ball in crunch time.
close couple free games happen hitting last lost sure throws tried upset win
Hitting free throws is something we have to do to win games. We were kind of upset because we lost the last couple of games by a close margin. We just tried to make sure that didn't happen again.
except good hot looked man teammates took upstairs
I got hot for a 3 or 4-minute span. My teammates looked for me in transition. I took good shots, except the one off the backboard, the man upstairs put that one in.
arena great
There is still a long way to go. It would be great to go up to Rupp Arena and get a win.
game since team thinking
I've been thinking about that game ever since before that game was over. I feel I have got something to prove, and I feel the team has the same thing on their mind.
came clock shot throw
A lot of times we came down to the end of the shot clock and we thought we had something and they'd throw something up and it went in. I give them credit.
came game provide second similar slow tried
This game was similar to the first one, really -- we started out slow but came on in the second half. I just tried to provide some leadership.
knew moved surprise
We didn't underestimate them. We knew they moved well without the ball. They didn't surprise us.
