conference definitely double georgia looking wins
We're definitely looking at Georgia and not the SEC Tournament. We would like to get to 10 wins in the conference and be in double figures.

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.
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.
conference focused good practice practiced
You can tell it's Southeastern Conference time. For our first day of practice this week, we were focused and we practiced very hard. We had good camaraderie.
conference game georgia good leading rebound running stops team
Georgia is the leading team in the SEC, in conference play, in steals. We have to be smart. We need to rebound the ball, get a good running game going and get stops on defense.
coaches concern conference east felt few four magic nine number seems since teams three winning wins
It seems like three or four years ago, winning nine was the plateau. But a few years ago, it seems like the Big East had a few teams go 9-7 and didn't get in. Since then, there's been a little concern in the SEC about what the number is. Coaches have always felt like 20 wins is a magic number and nine or 10 conference wins, you should feel safe. But at eight, you're still insecure.
benefit calls doubt jump shooting
I think the way you play (affects the calls you get). If you're shooting a lot of jump shots, you're probably not going to get the benefit of the doubt with the whistle.
gave
I said, 'I'm going to give you one more chance,' and I gave him one more chance. And he responded.
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.
beat early finish free question team teams throws
Our team can play with anybody. The question is, can we beat anybody? Other teams are going to make runs. We have to finish plays, make free throws and do the other things we were doing early in the season.
definitely game strength
Our strength has never been the three. We definitely want the game more in the paint.
dug ourselves win winning
I think it will be a big boost. We dug ourselves a hole, so psychologically you get to 6-5 and win two in a row, winning is contagious.
kentucky level starting
Kentucky is starting to play at the level everyone thought that they could play.
