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.
I always try to push myself, even more now because evidently I'm not doing something right. I'm trying to do the little things that count in practice to try and get my job back.
I just try to keep rebounding the ball as much as I can. I just go out there and do what needs to be done and don't worry about my stats.
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.
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.
We know nothing is guaranteed, so we've got to go to the SEC Tournament and put on a good show.

If we were going to going to lose, it was going to be all on me. Luckily, it went in.
He gave me his best wishes, and we both agreed that it's the best thing for me to do.
He said I brought it over. I'd been doing it the whole game.
He was crowding me. I think that's the wrong way to play me. Not to be cocky.
