Everybody gets down on Patrick's defense. He showed it tonight. It was all determination and desire.
Everybody expressed themselves. Everybody just didn't really hold anything back last night, just talked. We were more encouraging, we were kind of negative because we were losing and we needed to straighten up, and we did.
We just want to keep taking care of business. We can't worry about what our record was. We just have to keep playing hard.
(Tennessee) played up on me and my big men kept setting screens and getting me open.
Coach Smith has given me tough love, which I believe has made me a stronger ballplayer and a better person.
Coach told us before the game that he was going to be a different person. He told us he was going back to his old way of coaching.
Bad. We're not communicating on defense. In the film against Indiana, they shot the ball well. But that was partly our fault too because we didn't get a lot of contests on their shots and we didn't keep it out of the post.
That was a big key. We broke their pressure with patience. They didn't make us play up-tempo like they wanted.
That's what we don't have right now. I think a lot of guys are down right now, but we've got to stay positive. It's a long season.
That should help us. We've played against it.
They were just happy for me to make a free throw.
Patrick played great. That was a big key.
Patrick, he threw a chair. He got really red. We were all really excited.
