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.
actions bad fans great night ruin terrific
We've got great fans, terrific fans and you don't want to let the actions of one person ruin a night or have something bad happen.
bad guys played tonight
They had some guys do some things tonight they hadn't done. That's probably because we played so bad defensively.
bad explain hang start taking tried ugly
I tried to explain to them that this could get ugly this year. When they start taking bad about Daddy, just hang in there.
bad call regularly
And I feel bad about that because typically I'll call him more regularly than I have lately.
bad games good last shots
That was the good (side). There was no question. The last two games he was something like 2-for-15 from the field. But for us to be good, we have to give him the shots when he's open. You just have to take the bad with the good. He had one of those performances that's phenomenal.
gesture great
I thought that was just a great gesture on Evan Brock's part.
beat florida played playing state team year
I think we're playing a team who is playing as well as they've played all year long. They beat Florida twice, and they beat Mississippi State pretty bad.
difference eight nine
I think there's not a lot of difference between the eight and nine seeds, that's what makes it difficult.
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.
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.
bona careful concept ncaa needs team tournament whether
Our team just needs to be careful of that whole concept of whether we're a bona fide NCAA tournament team or not. We've got to play better.
depth missed near problem shots tired
I tell you, Kentucky's depth was a problem for us. We got tired near the end, and they made some shots while we missed them.
earnest kennedy last needs shot team winston year
I think he realizes he needs to be more aggressive. He didn't have to look for his shot as much last year because we had ( Kennedy ) Winston and ( Earnest ) Shelton . The team needs him to be a scorer and he's done that.
