beaten bottom east line teams three top
We've beaten the top three teams in the (SEC) East and the top three teams in the West, and I don't know too many other teams that have done that. The bottom line is we need to keep winning.
beaten east nobody teams three top
The thing for us, we've beaten the top three teams in the East (Division) and we've beaten the top teams in the West. Nobody else in our league, I think, has done that.
advantages chance explain far men outweigh senior top tried
I've tried to explain to (Davidson) the advantages of him as a senior here, which I think would far outweigh any gamble. He's got a chance to be one of the top big men in the nation.
defense defensive game key stops sure team teams top won
I think they're a top 15 team in the country. I'm not sure there are 15 teams better than them. We had key defensive stops at key times. Collectively, the defense won the game for us.
athletic attending chance cost director top
There's a cost to attending these tournaments. If I'm not going to get a chance to play top schools, my athletic director would not let me go,
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.
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.
