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.
balanced committee eight either feels matching ncaa teams terms truly upset winner
I don?t think it?s an upset either way. When you are paired up eight and nine, you are truly the two teams the NCAA Committee feels are balanced in terms of matching up that first day. The winner is going to win, and that?s the way it?s going to be.
east four maybe plateau since teams three
Maybe three or four years ago (eight wins) was the plateau and then maybe three or four years ago the Big East had some teams at 9-7 that didn't get in. Since then, I think there has been a little insecurity.
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.
basketball both coming continue game good helped job momentum protecting teams wins
It's an important, important game for both basketball teams. Both teams are coming off good wins that helped us both in a big way, and to continue that momentum for us would be real important. And protecting our home, obviously, is something we've done a good job at and we would like to continue to do so.
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.

I said, 'I'm going to give you one more chance,' and I gave him one more chance. And he responded.

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.

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.
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.
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.
