clearly conference final four good instead league looks people team understand
I don't think people clearly understand how good our league is. We're the third-ranked conference in the country. We just aren't top-heavy. There's not someone that looks like a Final Four team right now, but someone could play their way into that. Instead of being top-heavy, we have a lot of good teams.

He's healthier than he's been. He'll help us against zone.

His year off has helped him elevate his game. He has trimmed his body and is a little more chiseled. I think he has had a great year so far.

He has to bounce back, be competitive and tough. He has to know he will never be perfect. The coaches aren't perfect. That was a hard play.
best centers chris country defensive earned face hard kid played shot shutting somebody steven team ways
He is a handful. Chris has played very well in most of their big games. I feel in some ways that I've got one of the best defensive centers in the country in my team in Steven Hill. I know Chris is going to be hard to stop, but he's going to face a kid that relishes defense, relishes shot blocking, relishes shutting somebody down. And if he (Chris) does well, it's going to be because he earned it.
against average conference percent second shot team
We've been very consistent. No team has shot over 40 percent against us in conference play. We were right on our average here in the first half, and then they shellacked that in the second half.

We've got to make sure we pick our guys back up and still be demanding, still be encouraging. Florida is having a great season.
defended deserved fans frustrated good half knew liked players second shots
Here is what I liked -- we rebounded and defended our butts off the whole game. We didn't make shots in the first half and that frustrated us. I wasn't concerned. I knew we'd come back in the second half. I just told our players that our (14,734) fans deserved a good performance.
