accepted build certainly easiest fact great guy key knew lose losing particular player points proud proven reason team
This particular team has made me very proud of them. The reason is, they certainly could have accepted the fact that losing a great player, a proven player for us, a guy that we all knew could get baskets in key points in the game. Lose that guy and the easiest thing to do is build in excuses.
guy karl mean plays
He plays like Karl Malone tonight, I mean the guy was phenomenal, just an unbelievable game. He was the difference, there was no question.
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.
blow care chuck cried great guy happen hate obviously tough year
He is obviously done for the year so that's a tough blow for our team. We're really disappointed for Chuck and sad. I care about him so much. I cried with him the other day -- you hate to see that happen to a young person. And he's just a great guy and he was having a great year.
guy guys practiced team throwing
Felix is the only guy on the team that can make the pass. We practiced it and had guys throwing it all over the gym.
burned determination time ton
In the time outs, there was a ton of determination in those guys. That comes from being burned once or twice.
ron
Ron Steele was real aggressive. He penetrated a lot in the first half. That was big for us.
chuck gives lead positive roll start team though today winning
Chuck will still lead this team even though he'll be on the sidelines. Winning always gives you a lot of confidence. We are going to start today and we are not going to roll over. We are not going to make excuses, pout and whine. We are going to buckle down, be positive with one another and play.
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.
defending good job struggle teams time
I think teams have done a good job of defending him a little better. And he's not Superman. He's human. He's going to struggle from time to time. That's just part of it. He'll be fine.
flawless perspective played state
Mississippi State played about a flawless game, from my perspective.
alabama call continues needs night sat side sunday team until
Alabama needs to be a team that continues to play well. I've sat on every different side of this thing, guys. Until Sunday night when they call your name, nothing's for sure.
gave great lift somebody
I thought Alonzo gave us great energy, great lift off the bench. He did a lot of things well tonight. Sometimes on those 'Senior Nights,' somebody else always emerges. Tonight, it was Alonzo.
players sure talk
I'm not going to talk about it (to the team), and I'm not sure our players will, either.
