arkansas played stopped zone
Arkansas played well on defense. It wasn't one person who stopped us. Their zone was very effective.
backup challenged few games good helped knocking last lost minutes played playing point running shots state
He has really helped us and been a good backup point guard, but we have got to get him back playing well. I challenged him after the Mississippi State game. He has lost some of his aggressiveness. He was attacking, knocking down shots and running the team. The last few games he has not played as many minutes as we need him to play.
beat difficult few great guys last played
It has been difficult the last few years to beat Mississippi State. And it will be difficult (today). The great thing about it, a lot of our guys have not been a part of those losses. A lot of our new guys, they've never played Mississippi State.
days played stop
It snowballed on us, and we could not stop it. It was one of those days when things don't go right for you, and they go for the other team. I just thought they played better than we did.

I just thought they played better than we did, it snowballed and we couldn't stop them.
came commitment excited guys helped kids played reasons situation welcome
The thing that has helped him, our guys are so close. This is a close-knit group. I think that's one of the reasons why he came back. Most kids in that situation wouldn't have played today. But he made the commitment to come back, and I think the guys were excited to see him and really welcome him.
beat coming games hopefully kids played point ranked ready team teams third three
(Tennessee) will be our third ranked team in a row, and we're not at the point now where we can just beat ranked teams. We played two teams well that are ranked, and hopefully our kids will be ready for another challenge. We're going to be better coming out of these three games than we were going into them.
nine paper pick
I won't have to pick up the paper and read that it's nine in a row.

attacked guys kids mental position ready standpoint state
It's mental at this point. We're at a position now where kids know the plays. Mississippi State was more aggressive. ... Mississippi State attacked us, and now I've got to get our guys ready from a mental standpoint to attack Kentucky.
continue far league ncaa particular point special teams work
I think we have the makings of a special team. But there are so many teams in our league that are better than we are, I believe, at this particular point that we've got a lot of work to do. But if we continue to work hard, this team could be an NCAA team, but we're so far from that right now.
affected ball capable inside kept zone
I thought their zone affected us. It kept us from getting the ball inside the way we're capable of getting it.
continue ending
I don't know about ending the streak. We just want to come out and continue to play well.
florida turned
I'm disappointed we didn't play better. Florida had something to do with it. But we turned it over way too many times.
