We've played against each other in high school, so we've been big rivals. I believe he's one of the best shooters in the country.
Coach Smith has given me tough love, which I believe has made me a stronger ballplayer and a better person.
We're looking forward to the tournament. We still believe that if we play with effort, we can beat anyone. We just can't have those 2-3-minute lapses.
Everything happens for a reason; I'm a big believer in that.
Coach showed he believed in me. So I had to believe in myself.
They talked about teamwork. That's all it is. It's about team effort. No particular player trying to outshine each other. Playing unselfishly and believe. Good things will come.
We've got Tennessee at home; it's a big game and we know they beat Florida, so we've got to come ready to play.
We've got so many talented guys. As long as someone's stepping up, we don't need a (consistent threat), but in the long run, we'll need someone consistent.
That's the type of style I like to play. I think that's not a smart thing for a team to do, to press us. I feel like I can beat anyone off the dribble.
That's what got me a starting role last year. Whoever's got the hot hand for Florida, I guess that's who I'll be checking.
I was trying to get up and pressure the ball, but the picks were very effective. It was very frustrating. It's a play that we run a lot, but they executed it very well.
We know nothing is guaranteed, so we've got to go to the SEC Tournament and put on a good show.

He gave me his best wishes, and we both agreed that it's the best thing for me to do.
