ahead finals helped last looking loss motivated pain past team year
I think last year's loss in the finals has helped this team with our focus. The pain of last year has really motivated this team, and I don't think you'll see us looking ahead or past any team.
great means overall
Overall it's been a great week, and by no means are we done looking.
cheers
We'll take the cheers while we can get them.
game knew pain until won
We were so devastated. The pain never went away until we won this game tonight, for me at least. I knew that was the only way that I could get over that loss.
address practice work
We have a lot of work to do in our own end and we'll address some things in practice,
ball beat defense good team turn
We battled and battled, but when you turn the ball over 24 times you're not going to beat a good team on the road. Our defense was good enough to win.
ball continue needed shoot
If they continue to shoot the ball the way they did, they'll go a long way in this tournament. We needed them to have an off night. They didn't.
accident grind
Everything's kind of on a shoestring. All you need is one accident to grind everything to a halt.
affected carried last loss motivated past tournament win
Last year's loss was so devastating, I think it's carried on to this season. I don't think it's affected us, but it's motivated us. The only way to get past that loss completely is to win the tournament this year.
continue work
No one is getting discouraged and we'll continue to work hard.
erase helped last loss memory ready team win
The only way to erase that memory is to win the tournament. If we lose, it will be just as devastating as last year. But I think that last year's loss has helped this team get ready for this tournament.
hope nation support
I hope Razorback Nation will support an old Arkansan.
basketball best clutch college knew occasion rose tonight
He's one of the best shooters in college basketball and he's a clutch player. He rose to the occasion tonight like I knew he would.
beat great needed night played shoot
For them to shoot as well as they did and play as well as they did we couldn't beat them. We needed to play great and I thought we played well. We needed them to have an off night and they didn't.
