Other than a minute and a half, our team played an extremely good game.
bounce character effort felt games guys happen less played pleased team today wednesday
I was very pleased to see our guys bounce back today with the effort and energy, especially with how they played with in the first half. It was one of those games where anything can happen after the devastation we felt on Wednesday night. A team with less character would not show up to play.

We got a much needed win at South Carolina on Saturday. I like how our team is playing. We feel like we've played solid basketball over the last two or three weeks.
defense few fine good played ran tennessee turned
I was fine with how we ran our offense, and I was fine with how we played defense. We turned it over a few more than our average. Tennessee is good at making you do that.

There's not a lot to complain about. He's been a big reason why we've played better.
defensive guys hard played second shooting shots
I really thought our guys played hard and played well on the defensive end. We just didn't make shots in the second half, and shooting will come and go on you, but I really thought our guys competed hard.
both cage defense energy huge key played
Cage was huge for us off the bench. I thought his play on both ends, not just his shots, but the physicality he played with on defense and his energy was really a key for us.
fall florida georgia played teams tennessee
I think there have been some teams that played better than some expected. I think Florida and Tennessee would fall into that category. Georgia has played very well, too, so I think there are a lot of teams that have surpassed expectations.
both couple defense difficult doubt fortunate fought game good hard home last matter played record road teams trouble unto
Every game is a game unto itself. Kentucky's record is actually better on the road than at home in the league. We know it is going to be a difficult game. It was a difficult game last time. Both teams fought hard and played good defense and had trouble scoring. We were fortunate a couple things did go our way at the end, but I doubt if that will matter Saturday.
accept adjusting both freshman hard intensity sophomore trouble understand whether worked year yelling
I think it was hard for him, initially, during his freshman year and a little his sophomore year, whether it was the intensity or my yelling or whatever. He probably had some trouble adjusting to that. I think we've both worked hard to try and understand the other and accept some differences.
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.

That was one that obviously shouldn't have gotten away from us.
