dynamite fun
When we can get in transition, we're a dynamite team. We're fun to watch.
basketball challenge front good starting
We know we've got a big challenge in front of us. But we're starting to play very good basketball as well.
four good row three win
With this one, I think we can win three or four in a row and get on a good roll.
credit cutting hand hard hot knowing riding teammates
He was cutting and moving, and he was hard to guard. Give his teammates some credit too for knowing that he had a hot hand and riding him out. We just jumped on his back.
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.
early game home protecting win
It's early in the season. It's a very important game. I don't think the season's over if you don't win it. But it's a very important game to get, and protecting home is so important.
hit last seems steven
It's going to be a nagging thing. Steven had it some last year, too. He just seems to always get hit on the same place on his arm, like a magnet.

Going to Rupp and playing in a nationally televised game on CBS is a great opportunity for us. I know our kids are real excited about it.
defense free good hard job road three win
Hard to win on the road when it's 33-to-9 at the line. Hard to win when you think you do a good job on defense and they end up with three free throws.
duke game kid lottery minutes national playing plays single talking team time tv uniform
That kid, if his team is in first place or on national TV all the time -- or if he's playing with a Duke uniform on -- they're talking about this kid being a lottery pick. That kid does it all. He plays for 40 minutes every single game and doesn't take possessions off. That's special.
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.
capable defending disrupt energy good guards moving stepping sure
I know their guards are good players. They are very capable of stepping up and making things happen. If we're focused, really defending and moving our feet, we can disrupt them. But we have to make sure we play at that energy level.
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.
