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.
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.
last shooting sparks year
I thought I was in for another Patrick Sparks like last year the way he was shooting it.
attitude bit chance damage felt last returning team year
Last year we felt we had a team could really make some damage in this tournament, and we didn't do it. So for our returning players, I think there is a little bit of the attitude that we want a chance to do this a lot better than we did last year.
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.
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.
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.
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.
