close gesture great night number senior shows wear
It was a great gesture by Evan Brock. Unselfish. To wear Chuck's number on (Brock's) senior night just shows how close we all are as a team.
cap fact far feather gives night number perceived selection tournament
The fact we don't play on the first night of the tournament is big. That was important for us for a number of reasons. No. 1, it gives you another day or rest. No. 2, it's one more feather in your cap as far as how you're perceived by the (NCAA) selection committee.
bunch floor freshmen last number players playing
They've got a number of young players. We have a bunch of young players as well, so there's probably going to be more freshmen on the floor than we've had in the last number of years playing in this game.
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.
hendrix key today
Hendrix today was a big key on the backboard.
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.
