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.
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.
florida marquee missing team turn win
I like our chances. I always thought all this team was missing was one big win, and we got that marquee win over Florida to turn things around.

I'm disappointed in the loss, but I'm more disappointed in the way we played. Give Ole Miss credit. They played like a team in the hunt for it all.
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.

I'm just really proud of our team for not breaking under the Florida pressure. We may have bent a little bit, but we held strong.
basketball confidence definitely kentucky known level playing starting sync teammates
Kentucky is definitely starting to play at the level we all expected. A lot of it has to do with Randolph being more in sync with his teammates and them with him. You can see they playing with more confidence and playing the kind of basketball Kentucky is known for.
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.
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.
certainly second team
I really don?t know what Tubby told them at halftime. But that certainly was a different team in the second half.
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.
difficult energy high second sure team
Auburn is a difficult team to play because they have so many different defenses. We wanted to make sure we had a high energy level. I thought we responded pretty well in the second half.
doubt hard last particular team wins
It would have been really hard to be 0-3 at this particular time, no doubt about it. They were tense. They wanted those last two wins and we didn't get them. But this team now, I think, will feel better about itself.
