battle good stingy win
You want to win that battle of the possessions. We've been good at being pretty stingy with the ball.
knew minutes needed practice tends typical
He tends to be in the right place at the right time. That's a typical Vincent practice, but when you don't get minutes you sometimes don't get into a rhythm. But he knew we needed him today.
played road team
Our team played very well at Alabama. That was one of our better road games. We could have made better choices. Where do we go from here? We go to Auburn and get a win.
energy focus
All of our energy and focus is now on the 2007 class.
defensive florida game good half held man pick second steven using
With Florida you have got to pick a poison. I thought in the second half by using man where there was more one-on-one coverage, Steven (Hill) really held his own. I thought he had a really good game on the defensive end.
fighting fights-and-fighting guys honors tough
Those two guys are fighting for MVP honors right now. It's a tough combination.
ability average chicago great highly points public school speaks
To average 34 points in a Chicago public school league, which has great competition, speaks highly of his ability.
free key
Two key things. We didn't make threes and we didn't make the free throws. If we had made some of those, we could have had a different outcome.
missing needs reluctant steven worry
There are a lot of things Steven can do, but he's reluctant to do them in games. He needs to not worry about missing shots.
consistency establish home win
We haven't really had much consistency away from home this year. We wanted to establish that we can win on the road, and we did that today.
bit ferguson guard key match players
We need to get Ferguson going a little bit more. That will be a big key for us because he defensively can match up and guard some players on their team.
expect player veteran
Very possible. We'll see what happens. But I do expect him to be more of a veteran player than a rookie.
continues knows support sure work
We will support him and he knows that. We will make sure that he continues to work hard.
aware ball block free game knocked late mental mistakes throws
When you don?t block out on free throws and have the ball knocked away from you late in the game, it?s tough. You have to be aware of who is around you. We made too many mental mistakes late in the game to win.
