battle lose
We put the big lineup in, so it's disappointing to lose the rebounding battle like that.
came good miss players respect
Obviously, Ole Miss came to Tuscaloosa and won. Our players have a lot of respect for how good they can be.
ball basketball good hendrix inside job richard terrific
Richard Hendrix was terrific today. He was a real presence. We did a good job of getting the ball inside and rebounding the ball. Richard especially.
flawless perspective played state
Mississippi State played about a flawless game, from my perspective.
country front line teams
LSU is one of the better teams in the country. Their front line is tremendous.
attitude bit chance damage felt last returning team year
Last year we felt we had a team could really make some damage in this tournament, and we didn't do it. So for our returning players, I think there is a little bit of the attitude that we want a chance to do this a lot better than we did last year.
anybody confidence ron
I wouldn't do anything different at the end of the game. Absolutely. I've got as much confidence in Ron Steele as anybody in the nation.
guys lit man
When they went to the man, our guys really lit up.
cannot injuries kuwait magic response sign team wave
There's no magic wand you can wave over your team. I know the one response you cannot have is to get down and get disappointed. I don't think our team will do that. Injuries are part of the game. When I was in Kuwait coaching, there was a sign that said 'Adapt and overcome.' That's what we are going to have to do.
bodies
I sensed we got a little tired. They have a lot more bodies to play. I think they were a little fresher than we were. That's who we are right now.
beaten east nobody teams three top
The thing for us, we've beaten the top three teams in the East (Division) and we've beaten the top teams in the West. Nobody else in our league, I think, has done that.
ron
Ron Steele was real aggressive. He penetrated a lot in the first half. That was big for us.
high late maturity ron school starting step unique ways
Ron Steele is starting to step up in ways that he did in high school with his team. With maturity comes some aggressiveness, especially late in the game. He's a unique person and he will find a way for you to win. He's done that for us this year.
depended ron rushed settle shots
Ron has probably rushed his shots a little bit. I want him just to settle down and play. I think we've depended on him too much, too.
