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.
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.

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.
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.

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.

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.
last shooting sparks year
I thought I was in for another Patrick Sparks like last year the way he was shooting it.
basketball became chance continue excited good graduate leader mature nation next past premier team track
I think it's a good decision. I think he's got a chance to be one of the premier forwards in the nation next season. He became a leader on our basketball team this past season, and I think he'll continue to mature as a player. And I'm also excited because he's on track to graduate next spring.
confidence gave great improved stacked year
I think it gave him some confidence and he got to see where he stacked up. He had a great year this year, and he's improved every year he's been here.
allowed excuse injury statement
I think it's a statement for our players. I don't think that they ever allowed Chuck's injury to be a built-in excuse for them.
ball blow cancel challenge definite found rhythm shot situations
We haven't shot the ball very well. It's one of those situations where we haven't found our rhythm at all. ... It's a definite blow but we're going to try to challenge our players. We're not going to cancel the season.
