floor freshmen seen series
This will be the most freshmen on the floor that this series has seen in a long time.
mindset win
We need to go in with the mindset that we need to win the tournament. If we've done enough already, that's fine. We still need to go in with that attitude.
felt good late road shots today
We've been pretty good on the road with our poise, but I thought today we got a little hurried. Late in the game, LSU made some big shots and we weren't making shots. I just felt like they had a little more in their tank.
good seemed strengths took
We never got into a good rhythm. Defensively, they did some things and took some of our strengths away. We never seemed to get our aggressiveness back they way we need to around the basket.
bad defend five foul four mind missed needed settle shots taken took tough
We had missed foul shots, we took four or five bad shots that we had not taken in a while and they had made some tough ones. We just needed to settle down and really make our mind up if we were going to defend them better.
finger plug putting tonight
We wanted to get more than that. With our team, it's like putting our finger in a dike. You plug one hole, another one opens. Tonight it was rebounding.
against arkansas came hearts played ron terrific wall
We played our hearts out tonight. It hurts. Ron Steele was terrific tonight. Arkansas had its back against the wall and they came through.
basketball team vision
Have a vision. Sell your program. Your team is going to reflect you.
basketball coaching hearing
Hearing improves with PRAISE!
basketball lying team
We have a great chance to be an NCAA basketball tournament team if we take care of business night in and night out in our league. Records are deceiving. You can schedule your way into a 10-1 or 11-0 record. I have learned that you're not going to trick the NCAA tournament selection committee.
absolute advantage bunch game opportunity turn
We wanted to take advantage of an opportunity if it was there. We didn't want to just make the game an absolute helter-skelter, run-up-and- down. But we didn't want to turn opportunities down either. And we had a bunch of them.
growing pains regroup time
We have to regroup quickly. We don't have time to go through a lot of growing pains with this situation. We've got to get to where we need to be fast.
amazing environment played tough win
Those guys, for young players, are doing some amazing things in this league. They played us tough at home, and we know it's a tough environment for us to win in Starkville.
carry chuck difference gained loss played players step stunned
We were stunned (after the loss to Ole Miss) when Chuck went down, and we played like it. But now we've gained some confidence. We've had some different players step up and carry us. That's been the difference between then and now.
