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.
anybody confidence ron
I wouldn't do anything different at the end of the game. Absolutely. I've got as much confidence in Ron Steele as anybody in the nation.
ron
Ron Steele was real aggressive. He penetrated a lot in the first half. That was big for us.
high late maturity ron school starting step unique ways
Ron Steele is starting to step up in ways that he did in high school with his team. With maturity comes some aggressiveness, especially late in the game. He's a unique person and he will find a way for you to win. He's done that for us this year.
depended ron rushed settle shots
Ron has probably rushed his shots a little bit. I want him just to settle down and play. I think we've depended on him too much, too.
chance good line ron shot three win
We're 1-of-10 from the 3-point line and we're right there and have a chance to win at the end of the game. We're down three and Ron had a pretty good shot at the end.
confidence ron
I would not do anything different at the end. I have all the confidence in the world in Ron Steele.
asked ron team
I will be completely miffed if this team hasn't done everything that we've been asked to do. I think Ron (Steele) said it best, 'It's out of our hands.
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.
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.
