chance control game grab half tale
It was a tale of two halves. We had a chance in the first half to grab control of the game and we didn't finish.
confidence game guys happiest happy high level ok surprised
I told the guys after the game that I was happiest that they weren't surprised. I could feel a very high level of confidence in that room. It's OK if they're surprised about the big win, but I'm happy they're not.
came chance control dominated finish game grab half hook second tale
It was a tale of two halves. We had a chance to grab control of the game and we didn't finish the first half well. We kind of let them off the hook a little bit. They came out and dominated the second half. They overpowered us inside.
great last lost people pick players seem seems surprised
It's the same every year. People want to seem to pick (SEC) to be down, but it never really seems like we are. We lost some great players last year, but I think year-after-year you're going to have great players in this league. I'm not surprised in the least.
ball good taking
They were up on him and he was just taking the ball to the basket. He's just a really good player.
defense looks nobody open respect roll shooting shows sparks stretch teams wants
Sparks can make you stretch your defense more than you want. I think it shows how much teams respect him that he still was not getting many open looks even when he was not shooting well. Nobody wants to let him get on a roll with his shooting because if he does, he can shoot you out of a game.
few gave inside last presence today
(Terrell) gave us a presence inside today that we haven't had in the last few games.
extremely good minute played team
Other than a minute and a half, our team played an extremely good game.
catching coming difficult far florida game habit league loss obviously places seems team time tough
Obviously we've got yet another game where we're catching a team at a tough time coming off a tough loss and it seems like we've made a habit of that so far in the league season. Florida is always one of the most difficult places to play in the league. ... It will be a difficult task.
defensive happy second
I was not happy at halftime. Our defensive play was sloppy, and I thought we did much better in the second half.
asks mario
That's completely ludicrous. That's completely nonsensical. If Mario has a question, he asks me. If I have a question, I ask him. That's absurd.
care emergency great medical mike quite trainer turned
Without going into great details, it turned into quite the emergency situation. Our trainer Mike Meyer was courtside and was phenomenal. We called 911 and the paramedics got there shortly. Fortunately, he had great medical care and he's doing fine. He's going to be fine.
deserve games happy last league lost possession three
We had lost three games on the last possession in league play. I'm really happy for our players. They deserve this.
consistent guys
We've had consistent breakdowns, especially offensively. Unfortunately, some of the same guys are making the mistakes.
