basketball key mitchell
They're good. Darrel Mitchell is the key to that basketball team, though.
carolina played south team time
South Carolina is the one team that really thumped us. No question, we'll play a lot better than the first time we played them.
beaten games guys help plays three winning
Those three guys have all made winning plays to help them win three games in a row. And those were games they could have all been beaten in.
close miss seems state won
When State and Ole Miss play, it's always a battle. It always seems to be a close game. They won the first game. We have to find a way to play better here at home.
ability notch second turned
We jumped out on a 16-0 run, but I thought it was our ability to defend, too. We turned it up a notch defensively in the second half.
george good mason special understood
We all understood how good George Mason is. For us to have a chance, it would take a special effort. We got a special effort.
difference past regroup sitting team
We've had to regroup in the past. The difference between that is we're having to regroup with a young team. It's not like we're sitting around with a team that has expectations, or a team that has experience. You're going to get better in some areas, but I know it's going to be hard.
beat defense game together total
We put a total game together on defense and offense. We guarded. We didn't get beat off the dribble, and we neutralized the post.
guard hope point third
We hope we won't have to go to that third point guard (Slater) very often.
deficiency hard playing plugging
We're playing hard out there, and that is the thing you have to do when things aren't going your way. There are just some things that we have a deficiency in, and all we can do is keep plugging away and getting better in those areas.
difficult experience gains good leadership players providing
The pluses are that (Gordon) is a good player. He is going to be one of the better players in the league. If he gains more experience he will be really good, he has had some difficult times and has been providing good leadership as a freshman.
beat cut work
We're beat up and awfully sick. We've got our work cut out for us.
job resting
With this team, something is new every night. He got pretty fatigued. We got to do a better job of resting him.
ball beat chance difficult shoot shoots shot
When they shoot the ball they have a chance to beat anybody. When Kelley shoots it the way Kelley shot it tonight, they're very difficult to beat.
