fun humble impact kid points ronnie scores team trying value whether
Ronnie understands that his value to our team is not just in scoring. He's still an impact guy, whether he scores 20 points or 10. He's a humble kid who is trying to get better, and fun to coach.
aggressive nature ronnie team unselfish
Ronnie has an unselfish nature. But we need him to still be aggressive (on offense). You can't let the other team take you away.
contagious dug lost ourselves streak winning
It would be a big boost. We lost the first two and dug ourselves a hole. Winning is contagious. We want to get on a contagious winning streak as we go down the stretch.
battle great key special sure tennessee turn
Tennessee is a great team. They are having a special season. The key is it will be a battle of possessions. We have to make sure we don't turn it over too much and that we rebound. We have to go there like we're on a mission.
bother guys maybe physical
They said (Georgia's physical play) didn't bother them, but maybe it did. We need those guys to play consistently.
switched
They switched some things, and we didn't read the switches very well. We just made an inadvertent pass.
energy focus
All of our energy and focus is now on the 2007 class.
damage last obviously team veterans
A lot of veterans back from an experienced team last year. Obviously I know when you have an experienced team like that what kind of damage they can do in the tournament.
higher level players prepared sure understand
They play at a much higher level at home. I have to make sure our players understand that and that we're prepared for that.
athletes dangerous great quick rebound
They are small, quick and dangerous in transition, and they can rebound well because they have great athletes and speed.
bit
They really honed in on him. When he got a little bit open, they would rotate on him pretty good.
pressure
They're good. We need a win. There's more pressure on us to get it.
basketball confidence known playing
They're playing with more confidence and playing the kind of basketball Kentucky's been known to play.
balance complement difficult easy floor guys offensive players running step themselves
On different nights, different guys step up for them. Their players complement each other very well. They get themselves easy baskets by running the floor and off offensive rebounds. They don't take a lot of difficult shots, and when they do, they balance it with easy shots.
